2WA.00001: Structure, Reactions, and Effective Interactions Invited Speaker: Charlotte Elster It is a particular exciting time for rare isotope science. As FRIB is coming online, the physics community prepares to address the challenging science. A large fraction of the FRIB program will involve direct reactions with rare isotope beams, reactions, which leave a good part of the beam nuclei intact. Thus, the theory of nuclear reactions is central to understanding experiments at FRIB. Reliable and quantifiable prediction of reactions with rare isotopes will play a major part in the FRIB-centered theory effort. Over the last decade tremendous progress has been in made in {\it ab initio} calculations of nuclear structure as well as in the description of nuclear few-body systems. The expertise gained in both of these areas will be essential to face the challenge in describing nuclear reactions with rare isotopes. An essential part of connecting nuclear structure developments with reaction approaches is deriving and understanding the effective interactions that enter reaction calculations. This presentation will highlight a few examples that illustrate the need for the synergy of few- and many-body theory to address challenges posed by nuclear reactions with rare isotopes measured at FRIB.

2WA.00002: Nuclear Structure at the Beginning of FRIB Operations Invited Speaker: Heather Crawford The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at Michigan State University is on-track to begin operating for science by 2022, less than two years from today. In this talk I will discuss potential and unique nuclear structure measurements which will be enabled by FRIB, and possible in the first few years of user operations. While one cannot present such a topic in an exhaustive way, I will provide a broad overview of the types of experiments expected to address key nuclear structure questions, and highlight specific illustrative examples.

2WA.00003: Day 1 FRIB opportunities for experimental nuclear astrophysics Invited Speaker: K.A. Chipps The DOE-funded Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, soon to be completed on the campus of Michigan State University, will provide new opportunities for experimental nuclear astrophysics studies relevant to a myriad of astronomical environments, from classical novae to neutron star mergers. Many different pieces of the astrophysical puzzle are still required to complete our understanding of these fascinating stellar phenomena, and there are many different techiniques that can be utilized to provide input. This talk will provide an overview of some of these experimental opportunities. [Preview Abstract] |
