About the Workshop

Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) is an autonomous centre of the University Grants Commission (UGC), Government of India, providing advanced facilities to the user community for carrying out accelerator-based research in basic sciences for more than three decades. Experimental nuclear physics, both nuclear reaction dynamics and nuclear structure, has been a core area of research since the inception of IUAC. Several state-of-the-art experimental facilities, namely, two recoil separators (HIRA and HYRA), an array of neutron detectors (NAND), a large scattering chamber (GPSC) and an array of HPGe Clover detectors (INGA) etc. are available at IUAC to facilitate research by the user community.

In its continuing efforts to engage with the user community in chosen areas of research, an international workshop on Physics with Recoil Separators (PRS-26) will be organized at IUAC, New Delhi during July 13 – 14, 2026. The primary objective of the workshop is to discuss about the recent trends and prospects in the field of nuclear reaction and structure using recoil separators. The programme will include talks on both experimental and theoretical studies as well as the technical aspects of this class of devices.
