Gamma15: Frontier of gamma-ray spectroscopy

4th SUNFLOWER Workshop

September 30, 2015
Osaka University, Japan

Dear colleagues,

following previous workshops at RIKEN, the TU Darmstadt, and The University of Tokyo, we would like to announce the 4th SUNFLOWER workshops to be hosted at Osaka University, Japan on September 30, 2015. The meeting's main purpose is to discuss the status of performed experiments and future physics opportunities for in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) of the RIKEN Nishina Centre.

The 4th SUNFLOWER Workshop will precede the international symposium on the “Frontier of gamma-ray spectroscopy” (Gamma15) also held at Osaka University from October 1st to 3rd, 2015.

The objectives for the SUNFLOWER workshop include:

  1. Status of the SUNFLOWER collaboration,
  2. Status report on performed in-beam gamma-ray experiments,
  3. Status of the SEASTAR project including aims for the next campaign,
  4. Upcoming experiments,
  5. Physics proposals and ideas for near future experiments, and
  6. High resolution in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy at the RIBF.

Proponents intending to submit a SUNFLOWER proposal to the next RIBF Nuclear Physics Program Advisory Committee, held this December, are encouraged to attend the workshop and present their proposal. SUNFLOWER workshop participants are kindly asked to register from July 1st on the prepared web-site on the Gamma15 symposium:

Which will soon be accessible. If you would like to give a presentation during the SUNFLOWER workshop, please contact gamma15@rcnp.osaka-u.ac.jp until August 31st.

The Gamma15 page contains details on lodging possibilities and an access guide to Osaka University. A few useful links for SUNFLOWER proposals can be found below.

Looking forward to seeing you at Osaka University.

With best regards,
