Workshop on new generation nuclear density functionals 2025
We are pleased to announce that the workshop on “New generation nuclear density functionals 2025” will take place in Fragrant Hill Hotel (Beijing, China) from June 26 to 30, 2025, and is organized by China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) and Peking University (PKU).
One of the most important scientific challenges in understanding the nature of processes producing most of the visible matter in the universe is the study of the formation, structure and dynamics of quantum systems at the femtometer scale. Theoretical nuclear physics has made significant progress in recent years with the aim of developing models that could provide a unified description of atomic nuclei throughout the chart of nuclides. Nuclear density functional theory presents the most complete and accurate description of ground-state properties and collective excitations over the whole nuclide chart. The workshop aims to discuss the ways toward the next generation nuclear density functionals by bridging the gap between the microscopic ab initio calculations and still largely phenomenological density functionals. Recent advances on nucleon-nucleon forces, the ab initio calculations for finite nuclei and neutron star matter, and nuclear density functional theories will be covered. The applications of new technologies, including machine learning and quantum computing, in nuclear physics will be involved. It will allow fruitful discussions on the cutting-edge research and future development of the ab initio density functional theory for finite nuclei. Another important goal will be to strengthen international collaboration on this and relevant subjects.
The first workshop in this series was held by Peking University from November 18 to 22, 2019. Unfortunately, this workshop has been suspended on account of the COVID-19 pandemic and communication difficulties in the post-pandemic period. In 2025, the second edition will be organized by China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE) and continue to strengthen the academic exchanges and international cooperation.
