The Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) and Institute for Rare Isotope Science (IRIS) at the Institute for Basic Science were founded in order to answer fundamental questions in nuclear physics and astrophysics, through investigations of radioactive atomic nuclei not found in nature.
The IBS conference on “exotic nuclei” focuses on forefront challenges in nuclear physics and astrophysics, namely the fundamentals of nuclear structure and reactions and key topics in nuclear astrophysics such as the origin of chemical elements heavier than iron, Furthermore, there will be in-depth discussions on the current status of the RAON facility and its future perspective during the conference.
