NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY: NUCLEAR REACTIONS From dynamics to thermodynamics     COLBY-SAWYER COLLEGE NEW LONDON, NH June 16-21, 2002 Philippe Chomaz, Chair GANIL, BP5027 14076 CAEN cedex 5, France Robert Wadsworth,Vice-Chair Dept of Physics, Univ. of York, York Y01 5DD, UK

don't miss the 50 th ANNIVERSARY of the NUCLEAR CHEMISTRY GORDON CONFERENCE

General description:  This conference is focussed on the most recent progresses on the various aspects of nuclear reactions from fusion to the multi-fragmentation or production of a quark-gluon plasma.  Important issue and cross-fertilization of the varous fields are our main preoccupation: the understanding of nuclear properties and nuclear dynamics.  From the very low energies to the highest accessible ones the theoretical concepts are amazingly universal. These concepts will be an ideal basis of discussion

Format of the meeting: The meeting will be articulated in four parts. Nuclear Reactions - isospin and structure in reaction Multi-fragmentation and the liquid-gas phase transition Nuclear Dynamics - Transport Phenomena Towards Quark-gluon Plasma Three co-chairs will be responsible of each subject. Bernard Borderie , Maria Colonna and Romualdo Desouza Luciano Moretto, Bernard Tamain and Betty Tsang Pawel Danielewicz, Piera Sapienza and Wolfgang Trautmann Barbara Erazmus, Roy Lacey and Johanna Stachel Each "day" will include an evening session followed by the next morning. It will follow the same format putting the emphasize on new ways to discuss physics An evening starting with 3 general presentations (20+10 mn), followed by an ensemble of "clips": very short presentations (2-3 transparencies maximum) followed by 5 minutes discussion. This is an opportunity to get a lot of very new results. A morning starting with 4 general presentations (20+10 mn), followed by a discussion prepared by the chair and the three co-chairs in order to focus on key issues. This is not a panel discussion but a trial to progress collectively on important questions. The discussion leaders will be the only one allowed to show transparencies with the explicit restriction to never show their own slides. The main tool will be the black board. Also poster sessions will be organized.
