Abstract
Asian Nuclear Physics Association (ANPhA) is the central organization representing nuclear physics in Asia Pacific. ANPhA is now preparing a list of accelerators applicable for nuclear physics experiments in Asia Pacific. Among the listed facilities, world-class “major” accelerator facilities are mainly located in China (Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL), and its future extension in Huizhou, i.e. HIAF/CiADS, Beijing Tandem Accelerator National Laboratory (BTANL), which is now upgraded to Beijing RI beam Facility (BRIF), in India (Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre (VECC) in Kolkata), in Korea (RISP/rAoN), and in Japan (RIBF at Riken, J-PARC, RCNP, and ELPH/LEPS). World class facilities based on the tandem accelerator are locating at Mumbai and New Deli in India, at Tokai-mura in Japan, and at Canberra in Australia. Characteristics of these “majof” facilities including their facility developments will briefly be reviewed in comparing with similar facilities in Europe and North America.
Highlights
Introduction to ANPhAAsian Nuclear Physics Association (ANPhA) [1] was established in 2009 in Beijing, where representatives of the first four member countries of ANPhA gathered together in a founding meeting
ANPhA Board members meet together once a year at some appropriate place in one of ANPhA member countries or regions and exchange information of the status of nuclear physics in each country/region and have discussions on our future collaborations. This kind of meeting is organized in conjugation with ANPhA symposium on “Status of Nuclear Physics in Asia Pacific”
In contrast to elementary particle physics, which is another field of science based on accelerators, nuclear physics requires to prepare a variety of accelerators to tackle the various problems involved
Summary
Asian Nuclear Physics Association (ANPhA) [1] was established in 2009 in Beijing, where representatives of the first four member countries of ANPhA gathered together in a founding meeting. ANPhA Board members meet together once a year at some appropriate place in one of ANPhA member countries or regions and exchange information of the status of nuclear physics in each country/region and have discussions on our future collaborations. This kind of meeting is organized in conjugation with ANPhA symposium on “Status of Nuclear Physics in Asia Pacific”. Another important activity of ANPhA is to organizing DNP-AAPPS (=ANPhA) awards for young Scientists [2] for ANPhA supported scientific meetings
