Overview

The purpose of this workshop is to review recent progress at the interface between the physics of low-energy nuclear structure and high-energy nuclear collisions, and to explore future directions in this rapidly developing interdisciplinary field. We will bring together theorists and experimentalists from both communities to foster mutual understanding and initiate collaborations.

The workshop will be held in Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University. (Access map)

Registration Fee / Financial Support / Accommodation

There is no registration fee. However, we ask participants to pay a refreshment fee of JPY 1,000  per week, which will be collected in cash at registration. 

We have limited budget to support local expenses for early-career researchers. If you want to apply for support, please indicate it in the registration form.

The organizers have arranged 7 rooms at the University Guest House. No other hotel arrangement will be made by organizers; participants are asked to book their own accommodations.

Accommodation tips: There are almost no hotels near YITP. Participants will likely need to use a bus for daily transport. Therefore, we recommend hotels near bus stops that are connected to YITP with a single ride, such as Shijo-Kawaramachi and Kawaramachi-Sanjo stops along Bus Line 7. See also Hotel Information of YITP.
