International Symposium on Entrance Channel Effect on the Reaction Mechanism in Heavy Ion Collisions

Abstract

The aim of the Symposium has been to widen and detail the discussion of problems arising in front of experimental and theoretical groups, and to find overlap between different approaches and methods which are devoted to the studying dynamics of nuclear reactions. Therefore, the reaction product yields are determined by various processes in competition.The main topics of the Symposium have been devoted to the following well sounded problems of nuclear reactions: The synthesis of superheavy elements and the study of exotic nuclei far from the valley of the beta stability. The production mechanism of the observed new elements and isotopes. The study of transfer reactions as a way to understand mechanism of evolution of from the deep-inelastic collisions to fusion regime. The study of non-equilibrium stage of the reaction mechanism and distribution of the excitation energy between binary reaction products including spontaneous fission products are still important to have a correct presentation about the whole reaction mechanism. The similarities and difference between fusion–fission and quasifission products. Unambiguity in estimation of the realistic fusion cross sections by the experimental and theoretical methods. Angular anisotropy of the complete and incomplete fusion reaction products. The effect of the nuclear shell structure in formation of the mass symmetric and asymmetric fission products. The investigation of the role of angular momentum, mass asymmetry and orientation angles of the symmetry axes of colliding nuclei in the entrance channel in formation of the evaporation residues, mass and angular distribution of the fusion–fission and quasifission products. Multi-fragmentation and symmetry energy. The new experimental and theoretical investigations on these and related topics allow researchers to improve knowledge about nucleus–nucleus interaction dynamics and to make conclusions about perspectives in the study of the landscape of islands superheavy elements and exotic nuclei far from the valley of the beta stability.
