Support of Junior Scientists to Participate in the 2010 International Symposium on Nuclear Symmetry Energy at Wako, Japan

该奖项将为参加2010年7月26日至28日在日本Wako RIKEN举行的2010年核对称能国际研讨会的5-10名美国研究机构的年轻科学家提供部分旅费支持。会议的主要目标是为国际社会的核科学家提供机会，传播核对称能科学前沿的最新发展。国家科学基金会的资金将允许PI帮助大约5到10名美国早期职业科学家，费用高达他们从美国到日本机票的一半。与会者既有国际公认的资深科学家，也有年轻的新星。年轻科学家的参与对于解决这个快速变化的领域和国家技术劳动力的未来人力需求至关重要，因为美国稀有同位素束设施（FRIB）将在这个十年末上线。与此同时，RIKEN的稀有同位素束流工厂（RIBF）为研究致密非对称核物质的状态方程和极端中子质子比核的核性质提供了最有希望的机会。会议将为与会者提供在实验和理论项目上形成国际合作的机会。

This award will provide partial travel support for 5-10 junior scientists from the US institutes to attend the 2010 International Symposium on Nuclear Symmetry Energy to be held at RIKEN, Wako, Japan July 26-28, 2010.The main objective of the Conference is to provide the international community of nuclear scientists the opportunity to disseminate the newest developments at the forefront of the science on nuclear symmetry energy. The NSF funds will permit the PI to assist about five to ten US early career scientists with the cost up to half of their flight ticket from US to Japan. The participants include both internationally recognized senior scientists from around the world and the young and rising stars. Participation of younger scientists is essential to address the future manpower needs of this rapidly changing field and technical workforce of the nation before the US Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) comes online at the end of this decade. In the mean time, the Rare Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) at RIKEN provides the most promising opportunities to study the equation of state of dense asymmetric nuclear matter and nuclear properties for nuclei with extreme neutron and proton ratios. The conference will provide opportunities for participants to form international collaboration in experiments and in theory projects.
