Pan-American Advanced Study Institute on Rare Nuclear Isotopes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, August 17-20, 2010

这项由美国国家科学基金会和美国能源部共同支持的泛美高级研究机构（PASI）奖将于2010年8月17日至20日在巴西里约热内卢附近举行。由卡洛斯A.德克萨斯农工大学的Bertulani和密歇根州立大学的Hendrik Schatz博士，PASI将讨论稀有核同位素的物理学。它将促进美洲核物理学家之间的互动，以解决有关核物理，恒星和恒星爆炸的演化以及元素起源的许多开放问题所带来的重大智力挑战。这一计划的预期成果将包括天文学家、研究恒星演化的天体物理学家和研究大爆炸理论的宇宙学家之间的技术知识和思想的互利交流。预计这次会议还将导致核医学和能源的应用。PASI的结果将通过为该活动开发的网站提供。

This Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes (PASI) award, jointly supported by the NSF and the Department of Energy (DOE), will take place August 17-20, 2010 near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Organized by Dr. Carlos A. Bertulani of Texas A&M University and Dr. Hendrik Schatz of Michigan State University, the PASI will address the physics of rare nuclear isotopes. It will foster interactions between nuclear physicists within the Americas to address the major intellectual challenges posed by many open questions concerning the physics of nuclei, the evolution of stars and stellar explosions, and the origin of the elements. It will also serve to stimulate future collaborative efforts in this important field.Expected outcomes in this PASI will include a mutual beneficial exchange of technological knowledge and ideas between astronomers, astrophysicists dealing with stellar evolution, and cosmologists dealing with the Big-Bang theory. The meeting is also expected to lead to applications to nuclear medicine and energy. Results from the PASI will be made available through a website developed for the activity.
