abstract: This school continues the tradition of past NNPSSs. The NNPSS is distinctively different from many other schools in that it provides lectures and activities that cover the entire field of contemporary nuclear physics, ranging from QCD and the structure of the nucleon, over the reactions and structure of nuclei, to astrophysics. Particular attention is being paid to fostering interactions between students and lecturers as well as among the students that tend to come from all areas of nuclear science. This not only helps to broaden the perspective of the new generation but also aids in the formation of a community spirit within the field. The school can accommodate 50 students typically within 1-2 years either side of earning a PhD.

Michigan State University is the site of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, the nations premier rare isotope facility, the Mesoscopic Theory Center, and is part of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, and the UNEDF SciDAC Collaboration in nuclear theory.

abstract: The objective of the meeting is to give the attendance the opportunity to get in close contact with experienced researchers and hear their clear account of the nowadays state-of-the-art in some hot topics in Nuclear Physics.

The course is proposed to be divided in three main topics: theory (studies of nuclear structure and the mechanism of nuclear reactions), experiments (performed in different facilities for a very diverse range of energy), and applications (technology, medical physics, etc.).

abstract: The XXIst Indian-summer School of Physics is devoted to contemporary theoretical approaches to the nuclear many-body problem.

abstract: The objectives of the k0-Users Workshop are: to bring together researchers and new users to strengthen k0-NAA applicability worldwide, to exchange information and review the status of current developments and applications, to discuss the method traceability, its quality assurance can be improved, how the several versions of k0-libraries in use can be harmonized and to discuss future trends.

In addition, in the weekend before the workshop (12-13 Sept) there will be a training (if there is enough interest) on the use of Kayzero for Windows, see www.kayzero.com for more information.

abstract: The workshop will focus on nuclear data measurements using slow and resonance neutrons, their applications to the development of nuclear reactors and to waste management, and to the development of theoretical models of excitation and de-excitation. Presentations of facilities, experimental setups, and new data acquisition systems are also welcome.

abstract: The Fifth International Symposium on Exotic Nuclei (EXON-2009) is scheduled for the last decade of September, 2009. The organizers of the Symposium are the FLNR JINR (Dubna), GANIL(Caen), RIKEN (Wako-shi), GSI (Darmstadt),– the scientific centers, where exotics nuclei have been intensively studied.
The Symposium will be devoted to the investigation of nuclei in extreme states and, in particular, at the limits of nuclear stability (from very light neutron- and proton-rich up to superheavy nuclei).

abstract: The international nuclear physics workshop on Direct Reactions with Exotic Beams (DREB2009) will be held on the main campus of Florida State University in December of 2009. This will be the sixth of a series of workshops initiated by researchers from MSU, FSU and Orsay. The earlier meetings were held in 1999 at Michigan State University (USA), in 2001 at IPN Orsay (France), in 2003 at the University of Surrey (England), in 2005 at Michigan State University (USA), and in 2007 at RIKEN (Japan). We intend to keep the informal character that has been a tradition with the DREB meetings, allowing for a low cost fee to attract many students. DREB aims at presenting the latest in the field and stimulating fruitful discussions. Thus the list of talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts only.
