RIKEN Symposium 2006
"Methods of many-body
systems: mean field theories and beyond"
RIKEN, Hirosawa 2-1, Wako city, 351-0198

FIRST CIRCULAR
1) Motivation & Invitation
With the perspective of developments in the study of nuclei far from stability, both theoretically and experimentally, the fundamental issues on the applicability and extension of many-body methods in the study of finite systems under extreme conditions acquire new interests. Many problems such as the effective interactions, nuclear incompressibility, pairing, configuration mixing, role of coupling to continuum, damping of collective motion open new facets when moving to the terra incognita of exotic nuclei.
In this situation we think it is important to have a symposium, referred to hereafter as Symposium, where we can discuss in detail the most important issues raised by researchers in these subjects. With the hope that the issues under discussion will also bring the benefit to the future research after the completion of the RI-beam factory in RIKEN, we have decided to integrate the Symposium into the International workshop on "Nuclear Physics with RIBF", which will take place in RIKEN on March 13 - 17, 2006, and referred to hereafter as Workshop.
A number of topics discussed at the Workshop will be summarized and/or continued to be analyzed at the Symposium.
In this context the Symposium will get together experts
from
The topics of the Symposium include:
A number of experts will be invited to attend both the Workshop and the Symposium to present overviews on some most important issues discussed at the Workshop to the Symposium participants.
You are cordially invited to attend the
RIKEN Symposium 2006 to report important results of your research and
participate in the discussion. We expect to have a numbers of foreign and
Japanese experts as well as senior students, and post-doctoral fellows from
different institutes and universities in
The number of participants to the Symposium is limited to around 100 people.
2) Symposium site
The Symposium site is either the conference hall in the New RIBF building, the Okouchi or Nishina Memorial Halls inside the Wako campus of RIKEN (depending on the final number of participants).
An access map to RIKEN can be found at

3) Housing
Participants will stay in Toyoko Inn "Wakoshi Ekimae", a new hotel in Wako city, which is located just in front of the Wakoshi station, and at a walking distance to the Symposium site. The website of this hotel is:

It is the responsibility of all participants to make their room reservation by themselves using the on-line reservation service (in English) or by fax at the above website. The reservation should be made preferably two months before the check-in date.
A limited number of rooms are available for students at the guesthouses inside RIKEN (See (4) below).
