ABOUT

The 3rd International Workshop on Nuclear Theory “Nuclei and hypernuclei in relativistic ion collisions” will be held between  September 29 (arrival day) and October 5 (departure day) 2024 in Kemer, Antalya, Türkiye.

The aim of INTW-2024 is to provide an international forum for discussions and collaborations about new scientific developments and driplines border of physics between researchers in nuclear physics and related areas. These questions are at the focus of the activities at the FAIR facility, especially related to the Nuclear Astrophysics programme and the HADES and CBM physics topics.

It will be focused on theoretical and experimental developments in nuclear physics, production, structure, decay and formation of nuclei/hypernuclei and nuclear fragmentation processes in laboratories and universe, nuclear astrophysics, applications of nuclear physics.

Historically, the NUFRA ‘International Conference on NUclear FRAgmentation’ conference series have been organized 5 times in Kemer, Antalya, hosted by Selçuk University with national/international cooperation and partners from Germany (NUFRA2007, NUFRA2009, NUFRA2011, NUFRA2013, and NUFRA2015). These conferences have contributed to the development of collaborative works and over the years new collaborations have been expanded by completing joint national/international TUBITAK and COST Action projects. There has been a change of flags and tasks from senior professors to the younger generations. The rapidly changing research trends of the age, the findings that come to light with the experiments carried out give rise to many new research problems in the field of nuclear physics.

INTW-2022 (August 16, 2022) and INTW-2023 (August 20-22, 2023) conferences have been held at the Department of Physics of Selcuk University, Konya, Türkiye, within the framework of the joint DAAD-TUBITAK (121N420) bilateral project between J.W. Goethe University and Selcuk University, with the aim of expanding and strengthening cooperation and sharing recent scientific results with researchers in the wider community.

The INTW-2024 is jointly organised by Selcuk University, J.W. Goethe University and the Helmholtz Research Academy Hesse for FAIR (HFHF). Akdeniz University, Karabuk University, Yıldız Technical University and TENMAK from Türkiye, Fudan University from China, GANIL from France, INFN from Italy and RIKEN from Japan are also part of the organising committee to expand the cooperation.

We kindly acknowledge financial support by the J. W. Goethe University, Helmholtz Research Academy of Hesse for FAIR (HFHF), Selcuk University (124N001) and Turkish Energy, Nuclear and Mineral Reseach Agency (TENMAK), The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) 2223-D Support for Organizing Events within the Framework of Bilateral Cooperation Agreements and TÜBİTAK 2224-B programme.
