ENAM?04 Fourth International Conference on Exotic Nuclei and Atomic Masses

ENAM04：第四届奇异核和原子质量国际会议 ABSTRACTENAM 是一个三年一度的国际会议系列，致力于远离稳定性的原子核和放射性离子束 (RIB) 的物理学。RIB 科学极其广泛和多样化。 它涵盖了从核结构到天体物理学、自然基本定律的测试以及无数应用的领域。 然而，它的特点是反映了当今现代科学面临的主要挑战的几个包罗万象的主题，并且与许多其他领域有着深刻的联系。ENAM 讨论的科学挑战将包括以下引人注目的问题：* 重元素是如何产生的以及核特性如何影响恒星？* 原子核的结构是什么以及复杂系统如何从其各自的成分中获得其特性？* 复杂的多体系统如何表现出如此惊人的规律性以及哪些新的对称性表征奇异核的特征？* 自然界的基本对称性是什么？在世界范围内，对奇异核的研究正在迅速推进。 ENAM 拥有大量正在运行、正在建设和拟建的放射性离子束设施，是讨论该领域令人兴奋的发展（包括实验发现、理论建模、技术进步和应用）的独特论坛。第四届会议将在美国佐治亚州派恩山的卡拉威花园举行。 会议召开的时机非常好。 最近的核物理长期计划已将稀有同位素加速器确定为美国核物理新建项目的最高优先事项。 对于美国的 RIA 社区和全球的 RIB 社区来说，ENAM 是最重要的会议。

ENAM04: Fourth International Conference on Exotic Nuclei and Atomic Masses ABSTRACTENAM is a triennial international conference series devoted to thephysics of nuclei far from stability and radioactive ion beams (RIB).RIB science is extremely broad and diverse. It spans the gamut fromnuclear structure to astrophysics, tests of fundamental laws of nature,and myriad applications. Nevertheless, it is characterized by severalencompassing themes that reflect the major challenges facing modernscience today, and it has deep links to many other fields.The scientifing challenges discussed at ENAM will include thefollowing compelling questions:* How are the heavy elements created and how do nuclear properties influence the stars?* What is the structure of atomic nuclei and how do complex systems derive their properties from their individual constituents?* How can complex many-body systems display such astonishing regularities and which new symmetries characterize exotic nuclei?* What are the fundamental symmetries of nature?Worldwide, the study of exotic nuclei is in rapid advance. With thelarge number of radioactive ion beam facilities that are operating,under construction, and proposed, ENAM is a unique forum to discuss theexciting developments in the field, including experimental discoveries,theoretical modeling, technological advances, and applications. TheFourth Conference will be at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain, GeorgiaUSA. The timing of the meeting is excellent. The recent NuclearPhysics Long Range Plan has identified the Rare Isotope Accelerator asthe highest priority for new construction in nuclear physics for theUnited States. For the RIA community in the USA, and for the RIBcommunity worldwide, ENAM is the single most important meeting.
