Second Circular

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to send you the second circular of the CNS-RIKEN Joint
Symposium on "Frontier of gamma-ray spectroscopy and Perspectives for Nuclear 
Structure Studies (gamma08)", to be held at Nishina Hall in RIKEN Wako campus 
from April 3--5, 2008.

Main topics to be discussed are:
* Collectivities and shell effects in neutron/proton-rich nuclei
* Shell structure and stability of very heavy nuclei
* Exotic deformation / new collective motion at low and high spin
* Single particle motion in isomeric states
* Development of detectors and experimental methods

A list of invited speakers will be put on the web soon.
