Meetings & Workshops
"Radiochemistry at FRIB", August 2010:
A symposium "Radiochemistry at FRIB" will be held during the Fall 2010 National Meeting
of the American Chemical Society August 22-26, 2010 in Boston, MA. FRIB, the Facility
for Rare Isotope Beams, will be a new National User Facility funded by the Department
of Energy Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics and will provide intense beams
of rare isotopes for research. The symposium will provide a forum to discuss the
potential for the harvesting and processing of "designer" isotopes for basic and
applied research programs. Topics will include:
- present North American isotope production capabilities and outlook
- society applications in medicine, environment, materials studies, etc.
- nuclear science applications in astrophysics, reactions, structure, etc.
- stewardship and security applications
Abstracts are due March 22, 2010, and can be submitted via the on-line system at http://abstracts.acs.org

Symposium Webpage, http://www.cem.msu.edu/~mantica/radio-frib/
"Reaction Theory for FRIB", November 3 - 6, 2010:
A mini symposium entitled "Reaction Theory for FRIB" which will take place at the DNP meeting
in Fall 2010.
Direct reactions with rare isotope beams will be an important part of the
science program at future facilities such as FRIB. The community
understands how essential it is to develop reaction theory valid for these
exotic nuclei and understand well the uncertainties involved and the level
of accuracy that can be expected. This mini-syposium will bring together
the few-body community and the many-body community to discuss promising
developments and stimulate new ideas in the field.
The mini symposium will be part of the DNP Fall meeting in Santa Fe,
November 3 - 6 2010. See note below about submitting an abstract.
Please be sure to submit abstracts specifically to this mini symposium
when uploading onto the server.
Thank you.

Submitting an abstract
The abstract server is now up and running.
Go to the APS web site http://www.aps.org
Follow the links under "Meetings & Events" to "Meeting Calendar" and
under the "2010 Fall Meeting of the APS Division of Nuclear Physics"
one will find "Abstract Submission". NOTE the 1300 character limit.
One's membership number is NOT a required field. The abstract
submission deadline is 1 July at 5:00 PM EDT.
FYI: Abstracts once submitted will not be modified by the APS.
There are just too many for special treatment. One can withdraw the
abstract and submit a new abstract anytime before the 1 July deadline.
Finally: The DNP10 web site will become active soon. Registration
and hotel reservation links should open on or before 1 May.
"Advances in Raioactive Isotope Science - 2011", May 2011:
The first International Conference on Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science (ARIS - 2011) will be held in Leuven,
Belgium, from May 29 to June 3, 2011.
This new series of conferences results from a merger of the “International Conference on Exotic
Nuclei and Atomic Masses (ENAM)’ and the ‘International Conference on Radioactive Nuclear Beams (RNB)’.
The origin of the ENAM conferences goes back to the 1950s and 1960s to the ‘Atomic Mass and Fundamental Constants (AMCO)’ and
the ‘Nuclei Far From Stability (NFFS)’ series of conferences. Held jointly in 1992, the conferences officially merged in
1995 in Arles, France where the first ENAM conference was held. Since then subsequent conferences took place in
Bellaire, Michigan (1998), in Hämeenlinna, Finland, (2001), in Callaway Gardens - Pine Mountain, Georgia USA (2004) and in Ryn, Poland (2008).
The first RNB conference was organized in Berkeley, U.S.A. (1989) and the series continued with events in Louvain la Neuve,
Belgium (1991), East Lansing, U.S.A. (1993), Ohmiya, Japan (1996), Divonne-les-Bains, France (2000), Argonne, U.S.A. (2003),
Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy (2006) and Grand Rapids, U.S.A. (2009).
The new ‘Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science (ARIS)’ series of conferences aims to provide an international
forum to foster information exchange and collaboration amongst the researchers in the field. The program of ARIS -2011 is
expected to include the most recent experimental and theoretical advances in the field and include the following list of topics:
Nuclear structure
Nuclear astrophysics
Fundamental symmetries and interactions
Atomic masses and fundamental constants
Nuclear moments and radii
Rare decay modes
Reactions with radioactive ion beams
Nuclei at the drip lines
Heaviest elements and fission
Radioactive ion beam production, experimental developments and applications
