HaloWeek'26 - nuclei at and beyond the driplines - will take place from June 8 to 12, 2026 at Kyoto University, in Japan's former historic capital, Kyoto. The workshop will focus on the latest forefront experimental and theoretical developments in the physics of weakly-bound and unbound nuclei, and explorations of the drip lines and beyond.
Following the previous successful meetings inBergen, Norway (2022)and Gothenburg, Sweden (2024), HaloWeek’26 will bring together 40-60 participants to meet and discuss the most recent progress and share future perspectives of this field.
NOTE: As the venue has limited capacity, participation is by invitation only.
The topics of the workshop will include:
The physics of Halo states
Experimental and theoretical progress in the physics of weakly-bound and unbound states in nuclei, atoms, and molecules.
Pure neutron systems
Reaction theory
Universal aspects and analogies
