About the Workshop

The Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) is an autonomous institute under the University Grants Commission providing world-class experimental facilities in the field of accelerator-based research. Experimental Nuclear Physics has been one of the theme areas of research ever since the commissioning of accelerator facilities at IUAC in 1990. It has many state-of-the-art experimental facilities to facilitate fundamental research in the fields of experimental nuclear reactions and nuclear structure. National Array of Neutron Detectors (NAND), General Purpose Scattering Chamber (GPSC), Heavy Ion Reaction Analyzer (HIRA), Hybrid Reaction Analyzer (HYRA), and Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) are the major facilities.

IUAC plans to conduct a workshop on "NAND experiments: present status and future developments" on September 20th - 21st, 2022 in ONLINE mode. The aim is to provide an open platform to discuss the important physics problems that have been studied recently using the NAND and GPSC facilities of IUAC, the present status of these facilities, future research plans, and facility developments. The event will consist of lectures by experts in the field of low-energy nuclear reactions.

The workshop is meant for young researchers (students pursuing PhDs, post-doctoral fellows, young faculties, and scientists from Indian Institutes and Universities) working in the field of nuclear reactions.
