Introduction
The present goal of heavy-ion physics is to investigate the structure of exotic nuclei far from stability line, properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions of high and low densities as a function of excitation energy, extract information about the nuclear equation of states, and learn about possible phase transformations such as liquid-gas transition and quark-gluon plasma formation. Heavy-ion collisions provide the only tool for these investigations. The topics in the summer school will cover various aspects of nuclear structure, fusion and nuclear dynamics at low and intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions. A number of lectures will be presented on nuclear models, giant resonances in exotic nuclei and astrophysics, reaction mechanisms with exotic beams, the mean-field and beyond the mean-field approaches of nuclear structure and nuclear dynamics. Also lectures will be presented on quantal description of nuclear dynamics and nuclear astrophysics with radioactive beams.
Grants for graduate students
Summer School will take place at Davutpasa Campus of Yıldız Technical University, which is located in the European side of Istanbul.
Financial support for the school will be provided by TÜBİTAK. Grants will cover travel and local expenses of lecturers. Also, grants will be available for participants wishing to attend the Summer School, which will cover the accomodation including breakfast and lunch during the Summer School. It will also be possible to provide travel support for the participants.
