[Important Announcement]

Please ignore any emails regarding the workshop from travel agencies or other companies that are not from the organizers or RCNP, as we do not request accommodation support from any company.

[Overview]

Nuclear physics has advanced rapidly worldwide. For instance, RIBF and RCNP in Japan have been world-leading facilities, RIBF is planned to be upgraded, and recently, HIAF in China was launched. Theoretical study is also indispensable, in which Japan and China remain strong in the field and are geographically close.

Considering this situation, to encourage research among young researchers and enhance international collaboration, we organized the first forum for Japanese and Chinese young researchers on nuclear theory at Peking University in November 2019—the International Forum for Graduate Students and Young Physicists on Nuclear Physics. However, international collaboration has declined due to the pandemic.

Now, after six years, we aim to revive this initiative to broaden our perspectives, including those of young researchers, and strengthen our collaboration in both theory and experiment. Both the theoretical and experimental studies are indispensable in nuclear physics, and thus from this time, we include experiments as scopes. The updated facility of RIBF and its feasible/desired outcome has been discussed in the domestic workshop; hence, it is also good to start international discussion for specific topics related to the next-generation experiments. Last time was held at and supported by Peking University; hence, in this time we would like to organize in Japan.

Most presentations will be invited talks by students or early-career researchers. The invited speakers will be selected based on their research topics. Senior researchers will chair the sessions and give comments or encourage possible collaborations.

In this year, we will focus on density functional theory (DFT) and its beyond, a field of shared interest between Japanese and Chinese research communities. In Japan, many people work on the non-relativistic (especially Skyrme) DFT, while in China, the relativistic DFT is strong. In addition, to compare with experimental data, beyond-mean-field effects are indispensable. The time-dependent DFT including RPA and the multi-reference DFT including GCM have been actively studied in Japan and China, respectively. Related to this topic, the cutting-edge experimental progress, especially experimental study on nuclear structure, including the beta decay and giant resonances, on exotic nuclei will also be covered in this workshop. Hence, such an international workshop will be fruitful for exchange complementary topics and establish a possible future collaboration.
