FRIB-TA Summer School: Emergence of Collective Motion in Atomic Nuclei

19 Aug 2025, 08:00 → 22 Aug 2025, 14:30 America/New_York

Facility for Rare Isotope Beams

FRIB-TA Summer School: Emergence of Collective Motion in Atomic Nuclei will be held at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) on the campus of Michigan State University (MSU) in East Lansing, MI USA, on 19 - 22 August, 2025

In this summer school, we will discuss our current understanding of nuclear collective motion with emphasis on new developments relevant to the FRIB scientific program.

Lectures will include the relevant theoretical frameworks applied to current examples and discuss possible new and exotic phenomena that can be studied at FRIB, such as the effects of weak binding and continuum coupling. There will also be a number of hands-on activities to familiarize participants with some of the codes currently in use by the practitioners.

The program will cover the topics of:

• Overview of the experimental evidence
• Collective models, the Nilsson, Particle Rotor, and Cranking models
• Shell model approach, Island of Inversion
• Ab initio collectivity

Lectures:
Mitch Allmond (ORNL)
Heather Crawford (LBNL)
Alexandra Gade (MSU/FRIB)
Thomas Papenbrock (UT/ORNL)
Ragnar Stroberg (Notre Dame)
