ALTO Workshop 2013 - IPN Orsay

ALTO Workshop 2013
- SECOND CIRCULAR –
We are pleased to inform you that the 2nd Workshop on the physics at the TANDEM/ALTO facility will
be held in Orsay, France, on May 14th-15th 2013. The workshop is hosted by the Institut de Physique
Nucléaire (IN2P3-CNRS /Université Paris Sud). It is preceded by the official inauguration of the ALTOISOL facility on May 13th.
The conference program will begin on Tuesday May 14th at 9:30 and will close on Wednesday 15th
around 18:00. Registration will open on Tuesday May 14th at 8:45.
Scope of the workshop
ALTO is the first electron-driven photo-fission ISOL facility operated in the world. A first workshop
was held in 2004 aiming at gathering letters of intent and potential collaborations. After several
years of construction and commissioning, the full authorization for operation was granted by the
national nuclear safety authorities in year 2012.
The aim of this second edition of the ALTO workshop is to discuss the physics results and future
opportunities at the ALTO facility combining the capabilities of low energy Tandem beams and
neutron-rich fission fragments produced at rest by the ISOL photo-fission installation.
The workshop is intended as an occasion to reunite the low-energy community around the ALTO
facility and highlight the structure and spectroscopy of neutron rich fission fragments produced at
this new ISOL installation. In addition the workshop will serve as an opportunity to explore the other
diverse research topics carried out at ALTO, from nuclear structure and reactions and nuclear
astrophysics with stable beams to neutron physics/energy applications and molecular ions, with the
15 MV Orsay Tandem accelerator.
Scientific Program
The workshop scientific program will consist of 30 invited talks from internationally renowned
speakers. Each talk will be approximately 20 minutes long with 5 minutes allocated for questions.
The sessions will be split into 6 major themes which encompass the diverse range of physics research
activities carried out at the TANDEM-ALTO facility of the IPN Orsay:
- ISOL radioactive ion beams and exotic nuclei far from stability
- Nuclear Astrophysics
- Nuclear reactions and clusters in nuclei
- In-beam gamma-spectroscopy at Tandem energies
- Neutron sources and nuclear data
- Ion matter interactions
