DESCRIPTION:Workshop on Fission Dynamics 2026\nMay 11th–15th\, 2026 | Vo
 co Hotel Chongqing\, China\nThe Workshop on Fission Dynamics will be held 
 in Chongqing\, China\, from May 11th to15th\, 2026. This meeting is jointl
 y organized by Southwest University\, Chongqing University\, and Peking Un
 iversity\, with support from the National Natural Science Foundation of Ch
 ina’s Theoretical Physics Special Fund “Southwest Center for Theoretic
 al Physics” project. The workshop aims to bring together leading experts
  and young researchers in the field of fission to discuss recent advanceme
 nts in theoretical and experimental studies\, explore new methodologies\, 
 and foster collaborations on key challenges in fission dynamics.\nScientif
 ic Background\nThe process of fission\, in which a heavy atomic nucleus sp
 lits into two or more fragments while releasing a significant amount of en
 ergy\, was first discovered in 1938. This landmark finding not only revolu
 tionized our understanding of nuclear physics but also led to major techno
 logical advances\, particularly in energy production and nuclear applicati
 ons. Over the past eight decades\, extensive experimental and theoretical 
 efforts have been devoted to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of f
 ission\, its applications\, and its implications for nuclear stability\, e
 lement formation in astrophysics\, and energy production. From a physical 
 perspective\, fission is a complex process governed by a delicate interpla
 y of macroscopic and microscopic forces. The nucleus\, a self-bound mesosc
 opic quantum system\, undergoes large-amplitude collective motion as it de
 forms towards scission. This process is influenced by interactions among n
 ucleons\, shell effects\, and pairing correlations\, that determine the en
 ergy landscape of fission pathways. Fission fragment distributions\, neutr
 on multiplicities\, total kinetic energy distributions\, and angular momen
 ta are key observables that encode essential information about the underly
 ing nuclear structure and dynamics.\n\nSignificant advancements have been 
 reported in both experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear fission i
 n recent years:\nExperimental Progress: High-precision experiments using a
 dvanced detection techniques and next-generation accelerators have provide
 d unprecedented data on fission fragment properties\, neutron emission spe
 ctra\, and time-dependent fission observables. The development of sophisti
 cated fission chambers\, ion traps\, and coincidence measurements has enab
 led a more detailed characterization of fission processes across differen
 t isotopes and excitation energies.Theoretical Developments: The refinemen
 t of Macroscopic-Microscopic model\, density functional theory (DFT)\, sci
 ssion point model\, and Langevin model has greatly improved our ability t
 o describe the entire fission process from initial excitation to final fra
 gment distribution. Recent studies have also incorporated machine learnin
 g techniques to enhance predictive capabilities and reduce computational 
 costs.Challenges and Open Questions: Despite these advances\, many fundame
 ntal questions remain unresolved. The integration of microscopic and macr
 oscopic approaches to provide a unified fission framework is still an ongo
 ing challenge. The role of quantum correlations\, the impact of dynamical
  pairing effects\, and the prediction of fission yields with high accuracy
  require further investigation. Additionally\, implications of fission for
  nuclear astrophysics\, particularly in r-process nucleosynthesis\, neces
 sitate a deeper understanding of fission fragment distributionsunder extre
 me conditions.\nGiven these developments and challenges\, this workshop ai
 ms to bring together leading experts in fission research to discuss recent
  progress\, identify key open questions\, and explore future directions in
  both experimental and theoretical approaches. By fostering collaboration 
 between experimentalists and theorists\, we seek to refine our understandi
 ng of nuclear fission and its broader implications for fundamental and app
 lied nuclear physics.\nWorkshop Objectives\n1. Review recent advances in e
 xperimental and theoretical approaches.2. Assess the current limitations o
 f existing experimental techniques and theoretical models.3. Identify new 
 computational strategies and their role in enhancing predictive accuracy.4
 . Foster collaboration between experimentalists and theorists to improve d
 ata integration andmodel validation.5. Explore emerging applications and t
 heir implications for future research.We invite researchers with both expe
 rimental and theoretical backgrounds to participate in this workshop\n \n
