Description

The workshop on advancing physics at next RI Beam Factory (ADRIB26) will be held at the Nishina Hall of the RIKEN Nishina Center on March 5 - 6, 2026.  

ADRIB26 is dedicated to exploring future physics opportunities at the RI Beam Factory (RIBF), with particular emphasis on the mid- to long-term plans outlined in the RIBF Facility Upgrade Project. The workshop will serve as a forum to consider the role of the upgraded RIBF within the broader landscape of nuclear physics research, encouraging discussions on its unique strengths and potential contributions to the advancement of nuclear physics and related scientific fields. It welcomes participation from both experimental and theoretical experts in nuclear physics and related areas.

ADRIB26 will take place following the main session of the RIBF Users Meeting (UM)  on March 4. Organized in close collaboration with the RIBF Users Executive Committee (UEC), this schedule is intended to facilitate participation in both meetings, which are closely connected, and to encourage user engagement in future RIBF projects.

ADRIB26 calls for contributed talks from students and early-career researchers. In addition to recent research updates, contributions offering perspectives on the future directions or potential development of ongoing studies are encouraged.
