Visit of the NPD Board to the Oslo Cyclotron for the 87th meeting

Posted By Alessandra Fantoni, Tuesday 21 May 2024

The 87th meeting of the EPS-NPD board took place in Oslo on May 9th-10th 2024.

On the first day, the board discussed the status and organization of future EPS-NPD Conferences (NPA-XI 2024: Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics XI Conference, ANP 2024: Applied Nuclear Physics Conference 2024 and EuNPC 2025: European Nuclear Physics Conference 2025), evaluated the nominations for the 2024 EPS-NPD prize in Applied Nuclear Physics and discussed current affairs regarding nuclear physics in Europe and future activities of the division.

The board was also very happy to interact via zoom with the new President of the EPS, Mairi Sakellariadou,who shared her vision of the society.

On the following day, the board visited the physics department of the University of Oslo and in particular, the Cyclotron laboratory. Due to maintenance, the board could actually see the heart of the facility: the MC-35 Skanditronix cyclotron, which was installed in 1979 and delivers light ion beams for studies in nuclear physics as well as in biophysics and nuclear medicine. The visit continued with a guided tour of the beam line, which hosts the OSCAR array composed of 30 LaBr detectors. In conjunction with segmented Si junctions for light particle detection, this device is used to measure nuclear level densities and gamma-decay strength functions via the world-famous “Oslo” method. These quantities are crucial to test nuclear theories as well as to model the processes that lead to nucleosynthesis in stellar environments.

Call for bids - EuNPC 2025

Posted By Administration, Thursday 9 March 2023
Updated: Tuesday 2 May 2023

The recent successful EuNPC conference in Santiago de Compostela was the fifth in the series and was delayed from 2021 because of Covid. Previous conferences were: Bochum (2009), Bucharest(2012), Groningen (2015) and Bologna(2018).

Therefore, this is a call from the board of the Nuclear Physics Division (NPD) of the European Physical Society (EPS) for expressions of interest in hosting an EuNPC at the end of 2025 (not to overlap with INPC 2025, planned for May in Korea). 

The conference brings together researchers from a multi-disciplinary community of experimental and theoretical nuclear physicists to discuss the status and the prospects of the field as well as its applications.

It is part of the series of NPD divisional conferences, which includes also  the Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics (NPA) and the Applied Nuclear Physics (ANP) Conferences.

The application material for the conference should include:

- the description of the proposed location and venue
- the participating Universities and Laboratories
- the projected costs
- the expected financial support and
- the expected approximate conference fees.

The bid should also provide the list of members comprising the Local Organizing Committee.

The deadline to submit the application material to the Scientific Secretary of the NPD board (Dr Zsófia Kertész zsofi@atomki.hu) is 30th April, 2023 => extended to May 7th, 2023

The NPD board will select the host of EuNPC 2025 at its meeting in May 2023.
