Physics of Super Heavy Nuclei: status and prospects with S3

3 nov. 2026, 09:00 → 4 nov. 2026, 13:00 Europe/Paris

Salle des Conseils, Building 100 (IJClab)

The aim of the meeting is to review the open questions on the physics of super heavy nuclei (both in experiment and theory), present the experiments that are foreseen at S3 and discuss beam and target needs and strategies as well as current problems and possible mitigation. 

The sessions on tuesday and the first session on wednesday with review talks and technical presentations are public. The last discussion session on the wednesday is closed.

The meeting will be in hybrid mode and is sponsored by the GDR RESANET.
