N=Z Collaboration Meeting

23-24 May 2016
Heavy Ion Laboratory, University of Warsaw,
ul. Pasteura 5A, Warszawa
www.slcj.uw.edu.pl/NZmeeting


Date and time

start on 23 May at 2pm , end on 24 May at 3pm.

Goals

Several experiments aiming at investigation of N~Z nuclei have been proposed at GANIL and will be considered at the coming PAC meeting in June. Two such experiments are already approved. Construction of new neutron detection array NEDA is in progress and experiments with AGATA connected to NEDA and other devices are planned at GANIL in 2018. In parallel, the experimental campaign with GALILEO and Neutron Wall is pursued at LNL.


We organize this meeting to share information on experiments at LNL, to maximize the chance to get the largest possible number of proposals approved in June at GANIL, and to discuss technical issues related to the installation of NEDA with AGATA.
