DESCRIPTION:Nowadays the study of exotic nuclei far from the β-stability 
 line is extremely stimulated by the development of radioactive ion beam fa
 cilities worldwide and brings opportunities and challenges to existing nuc
 lear theories. The relativistic density functional theories have gained wi
 de attention for successfully describing numerous nuclear phenomena. In pa
 rticular\, by self-consistently taking the deformation\, pairing correlati
 ons\, and continuum effects into account\, the deformed relativistic Hartr
 ee-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) has achieved great successes not
  only in stable nuclei but also in exotic nuclei. In light of the first nu
 clear mass table including the continuum constructed by the spherical rela
 tivistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov theory\, which largely extends the e
 xisting nuclear landscapes predicted with other methods\, it is imperative
  to construct an upgraded mass table with high accuracy by including the d
 eformation and continuum effects simultaneously.\n \nA campaign has been 
 started since Dec. 2018 to construct the first nuclear mass table includin
 g continuum and deformation by using the state-of-the-art DRHBc theory wit
 h the preeminent density functional PC-PK1. An international collaboration
 \, namely the DRHBc mass table collaboration\, was established\, which pre
 sently includes 31 universities and institutions from countries including 
 China\, South Korea\, and Japan. A series of “International Workshop on 
 DRHBc Mass Table” have started in 2018 as follows:\no   The 1st worksh
 op of the series was held on Dec. 4-8\, 2018 in Daejeon and Seoul\, hosted
  by the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) and Soongsil University\, with a
 bout 30 participants. \no   The 2nd workshop was held at Peking Universi
 ty on Aug. 22-23\, 2019 with about 50 participants. In this workshop\, man
 y participants from new institutes joined the project and established rese
 arch networks for future collaborations. \no   The 3rd workshop in hybri
 d format was held on Aug. 26-28\, 2020 in Pusan with about 40 participants
  hosted by APCTP and Pusan National University to discuss the progress of 
 each group and future plans. \no   The 4th workshop also in hybrid forma
 t was held on Dec. 16-18\, 2021 with two on-site venues\, i.e.\, Peking Un
 iversity\, China and Hoseo University\, Korea. More than 50 participants a
 ttended the workshop.\no   The 5th workshop was held on Aug. 28-31\, 202
 2 hosted by APCTP Headquarters\, Pohang. About 60 participants attended it
  on-site or online and discussed the working plan to finish the DRHBc mass
  table for even-Z nuclei.\no   The 6th workshop was held on Dec. 6-9\, 2
 023 hosted by Guizhou Minzu University\, Guiyang. About 70 participants at
 tended it and confirmed the tasks and objectives to complete the whole DRH
 Bc mass table.\no   The 7th workshop was held on Jul. 1-4\, 2024 at Gang
 neung Green City\, South Korea\, hosted by Soongsil University. About 50 p
 articipants attended to discuss the results and tasks.\n \nTo date\, the 
 ground-state properties of even-even nuclei with 8 ≤ Z ≤ 120 from the 
 proton drip line to the neutron drip line have been summarized and publish
 ed in Atomic Data Nuclear Data Tables in 2022. The mass table of all even-
 Z nuclei with 8 ≤ Z ≤ 120 has been published in Atomic Data Nuclear Da
 ta Tables in 2024. Now the campaign is in the last stage\, the mass table 
 for all odd-Z nuclei\, which is the most challenging and critical. Moreove
 r\, the systematic DRHBc calculations for the heaviest nuclei with 120 < Z
  ≤ 136 have been performed as well. It is\, therefore\, necessary to org
 anize a workshop to overview the recent progress and try to finalize the c
 onstruction of the whole DRHBc mass table.\n \nThe objectives of “The 8
 th International Workshop on DRHBc Mass Table” include: \nŸ  To summar
 ize the recent progress of the DRHBc calculations for the odd-Z nuclei and
  superheavy nuclear region from PIs.\nŸ  To finalize the construction of
  the first relativistic mass table with the continuum\, the deformation\, 
 the paring correlation\, and the blocking effects self-consistently includ
 ed.\nŸ  To discuss novel phenomena in nuclear physics by the DRHBc theor
 y and various applications of the DRHBc mass table in nuclear astrophysics
 .\nŸ  To fortify and strengthen the scientific collaboration networks in
  the fields of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics among the institut
 ion members of the DRHBc mass table collaboration.\n \nTopics of the prop
 osed focus program include\no   Progress reports from PIs for odd-Z nucl
 ei\;\no   Descriptions and predictions for superheavy nuclei\;\no   Co
 nstruction and physical analysis of the whole DRHBc mass table\;\no   Ap
 plications and interesting topics of DRHBc mass table\;\no   DRHBc-based
  nuclear inputs to the astrophysical process.\n \nRegistration Fee\n\nIn 
 order to ensure that the workshop can be held efficiently and of high qual
 ity\, a registration fee of HK$1500 is required. Meanwhile\, a limited num
 ber of sponsorship spots are available for application.\nThe meals and acc
 ommodation for the meeting will be arranged in a unified manner\, and the 
 attendees are required to cover the relevant expenses on their own.\n\n \
