Abstract
The fourteenth International Conference on Electromagnetic Isotope Separators and Techniques related to their Applications, EMIS-14, held in Victoria, Canada, was attended by more than 130 participants. As compared to earlier EMIS conferences, EMIS-14 reflected the increasing importance of experimental developments applicable to unstable nuclei. Reports on efficient isotope separation, beam manipulation such as cooling, trapping and acceleration were presented. The theoretical basis for research with exotic beams was put by W. Nazarewicz. He clearly underlined the importance of neutron rich nuclei which cover a large and unexplored region of the nuclear chart. New phenomena such as the separation of proton and neutron matter in nuclei or disappearance and formation of new nuclear shells are expected. The investigation of the rich field of nuclei far-off stability will shed light on the in-medium nucleon–nucleon interaction and finally help to understand the structure of elementary matter.
