Interfacing Structure and Reactions

International Conference, 1 - 5 December 2008, at Queenstown, New

The First
International Conference on Interfacing Structure and Reactions in Nuclear
Physics will be held in Queenstown, New Zealand, on 1 - 5 December 2008.
Kernz08
aims at bringing together a wide spectrum of research activities, both
theoretical and experimental, that combine nuclear structure and nuclear
reactions, as well as applications such as nuclear astrophysics. Though these
research directions often involve different sub-communities of nuclear
physicists, we would like to see the interplay between these fields strengthen
and unify nuclear physics itself. It is therefore of utmost importance to bring
researchers from disparate scientific groups in close contact in order to a)
discuss common problems, b) present recent results, c) become informed about
the latest developments in theory as well as about the most recent achievements
in experiments. We plan on having lead speakers to provide topical overviews,
as well as shorter talks with time for fruitful discussions.
The
Conference will be held at the Millennium Hotel, Queenstown, in the southern
regions of the South Island of New Zealand. See
www.kernz.org/conference_city.htm
for local attractions. A block of rooms has been reserved at the conference
rate:

Queenstown has direct air connections with Christchurch, Auckland and Sydney.
There will be air, river and lake excursions available, as well as tours of the
local Pinot Noir wine district.
