DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Marek Ploszajczak (GANIL)\n\nSchool description\nIn 
 recent years\, progress in microscopic approaches to solving the nuclear m
 any-body problem has been rapid\, for both nuclear structure and reactions
 . Notably\, significant advances have been made in the treatment of contin
 uum couplings\, which is essential for describing weakly-bound and unbound
  states in exotic nuclei. These methods should form part of the core curri
 culum for all physicists working in nuclear theory and experiment.\nThe co
 urse aims at teaching modern theoretical approaches that are used in studi
 es of weakly-bound and unbound quantum many-body systems. The theoretical 
 concepts\, which will be explained using examples of the atomic nucleus\, 
 can be applied in any mesoscopic system. This course will be of interest t
 o advanced Master's students\, PhD students\, and junior postdoctoral rese
 archers studying the physics of weakly-bound or unbound nuclear states.\nT
 he duration of the course is three weeks\, with an expected attendance of 
 20-25 students. To accommodate Master's students\, in particular\, those f
 rom local programs at the University of Caen\, the first week will primari
 ly feature introductory lectures that provide essential background knowled
 ge.\nThe school is free (no fee)\, and both lodging and meals will be prov
 ided to all participants.\nTopics covered\n\n\nPhenomenology of nuclei as 
 open quantum systems\nGeneral properties of resonances\nBasic concepts of 
 scattering theory\nOverview of nuclear decays and related processes\nConti
 nuum in nuclear Density Functional Theory\nReal-energy continuum Shell Mod
 el\nShell Model in the complex energy plane\nUnification of structure and 
 reactions\nTime-dependent approaches\nExamples of continuum shell-model ap
 plications\nUniform complex scaling method\nFrom few- to many-body resonan
 ces\nNear-threshold physics and low-energy universality\nExamples of conti
 nuum shell-model applications\n\n\nMain lecturers\n\nKevin Fossez\, Florid
 a State University\, USA\nWitek Nazarewicz\, FRIB & Michigan State Univers
 ity\, USA\nMarek Płoszajczak\, GANIL\, France\nAlexander Volya\, Florida 
 State University\, USA\n\nInvited lecturers\n\nAlan Dassie\, GANIL\, Franc

  Fudan University\, China\n\nApplication & Requirements\nApplications are 
 currently closed. \nFor successful participation in this course\, student
 s are expected to have a working proficiency in quantum mechanics at the 
 graduate level. This encompasses a solid understanding of essential physic
 s concepts and mathematical physics tools\, including but not limited to:
 \n\nThe concept of the wave function\nSchrödinger equation\nSpin and Hilb
 ert spaces\nComplex variables\nFourier transform\nLinear algebra\nFundamen
 tal aspects of quantum many-body problems\n\nFurthermore\, students should
  possess practical skills in scientific computing. Familiarity with progra
 mming languages commonly used in the field\, such as Fortran\, C/C++\, Pyt
 hon\, or Julia\, is necessary. While students may opt to use other program
 ming languages\, it should be noted that assistance from the teaching staf
 f might be more limited in those cases.\n\n\nSponsors / Partners\n      \n
