We introduce the facility upgrade project of "Radioactive Isotope Beam factory" (RIBF). The project was discussed extensively in 2022-2023, and the discussions were summarized in a report [1]. RIKEN started experimental programs with fast radioactive isotope (RI) beams at an inflight separator RIPS in 1990 [2]. RIPS was designed to give intense RI beams for reaction studies. Indeed, the...
After twenty five glorious years of discovery followed by detailed study of Quark Gluon Plasma, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at BNL will cease its operation in 2025. An electron beam facility will be added to the accelerator complex - in partnership between BNL and Jefferson Lab - to convert the RHIC into a high-luminosity high-energy polarized electron-proton (-light ion) and...
The processes by which we foster curiosity, educate our youth, encourage people into science, recruit and retain people into physics and welcome them as members of our nuclear physics community are important in building a strong nuclear workforce for the future. Enabling the development of an identity as a scientist or nuclear scientist is a crucial part of mentoring young people to...
Following the discovery of nihonium (Nh: Z=113), the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science (RNC) has started a new program aimed at producing additional new elements in the eighth period, the 119th and 120th, by hot fusion reactions. To achieve this goal, the RNC has upgraded a superconducting linac accelerator (SRILAC) and a superconducting ECR ion source to increase the beam...
The nuclear beta decay revealed the existence of neutrino more than eight decades ago, but the neutrino still continues to be a puzzle waiting to be unravelled. The mass and nature of neutrinos play an important role in physics beyond the standard model. At present, neutrinoless double beta decay (NDBD) is perhaps the only experiment that can tell us whether or not the neutrino is its own...
The physics of strong interaction is described by the theory of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) which is part of the Standard Model. Since 2010, the STAR experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has carried out beam energy scan (BES) program from the center of mass energy from 3 to 200 GeV corresponding to the baryon chemical potential 760 > μB > 25 MeV. The BES program has...
We summarize the relationship between chiral symmetry breaking and the masses of hadrons across various flavor representations. Next, we discuss the behavior of vector mesons in matter. Finally, we demonstrate why K1 and K* are appropriate chiral partners that can be realistically measured in experiments.
Heavy-ion collisions offer a unique opportunity to study strongly interacting QCD matter under extreme conditions of temperatures and baryon densities. The main goal of this research has been to better understand the rich structure of the QCD phase diagram. The Nuclotron Ion Collider-fAcility (NICA) offers an opportunity to extend these studies to the range of ion collision energies from 2.4...
We outline some of the new developments in our understanding of the baryon spectrum resulting from the simultaneous analysis of experimental data and lattice QCD, using Hamiltonian effective field theory.
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of the
structure of atomic nuclei in the vicinity of doubly-magic 132Sn. In this
presentation, I will summarize the valuable contributions to this progress
made by in-beam and decay gamma-ray spectroscopy experiments performed
at RIBF (Tokyo, Japan). This includes studies of the shell evolution beyond
132Sn, both along the...
The spin-isospin excitations including beta-decay may have strong impacts on the study of strong interactions in nuclear medium, and also the astrophysical phenomena such as the r-process nucleosynthesis together with the photonuclear cross sections, and the large-scale nucleosynthesis network calculations to create elements in the universe. In addition, the Gamow-Teller (GT) and spin-dipole...
The Rare Isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments (RAON) has the unique feature of utilizing both Isotope Separation On-Line (ISOL) and In-Flight (IF) fragmentation systems for the production of rare isotope beams, and the combined ISOL+IF method can produce rare isotope beams different from the one produced by either ISOL or IF technique.
How many RI beams we can produce in RAON...
It has been well known that nuclear collective excitations significantly affect heavy-ion reactions at energies around the Coulomb barrier in several different ways. One of the most well known examples is a large enhancement of fusion cross sections at subbarrier energies due to nuclear deformation. Nuclear deformation is relevant also to fusion for superheavy elements as well as reaction...
The discovery of the exotic heavy tetraquark state X(3872) by the Belle Collaboration and hidden charm pentaquarks ($P_{c\bar{c}}$) by the LHCb Collaboration marked a breakthrough in exotic hadron physics. Following these observations, numerous exotic hadrons have been found. Understanding their production mechanisms and internal multiquark structures will illuminate the fundamental origin of...
Precision measurements of observables that can be accurately predicted by the Standard Model (SM) can be used to search for physics beyond it. One of the most amazing features of the SM is the left-handedness of the charged part of the Weak Interaction. In the presence of new interactions beyond the SM, an interference effect takes place between these and the SM currents. Beta spectra measured...
This journal-club-style coverage of published results of "Fundamental Symmetries and Interactions in Nuclei" since INPC2022 will leave out exciting experiments in progress. References will be in the slides. The speaker is showing his own work in a parallel session.

I will present a mass gap solution of the 1+1D QCD in the large Nc limit known as the ‘tHooft model to discuss a link between QCD and the Light-Front Quark Model (LFQM). I will highlight the interpolation between the instant form dynamics and the light-front dynamics and discuss its utility in the computation of the parton distribution function (PDF). I will then illustrate the...
The Jinping Underground experiment for Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA) is located in the ultra-low background environment of the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL). JUNA aims to study crucial stellar energy reactions in star evolution through direct experiments. In 2020, JUNA installed a high-current accelerator at the mA level based on an ECR source, along with high-efficiency BGO and...
In the past half century, thanks to ever-growing precision, laboratory analysis of meteorites has revealed clear fingerprints of the nuclear reactions that happen in stars. First major nuclear-burning signatures were found as pure stellar material, in the form of radioactive nuclei and micrometer-sized stardust. More recently, the variable imprint of nuclear processes in stars has also been...
Neutrino wind-driven supernova models provide strong evidence for the production of light, proton-rich heavy elements such as Sr, Y, and Zr, which remain inadequately explained by existing nucleosynthesis processes. This presentation will highlight on advancements in direct measurements of neutron-induced reactions on radionuclides, specifically the $^{56}$Ni(n,p) reaction, which plays a...
Nucleons are the building blocks of atomic nuclei,
and are responsible for more than 99 % of the visible matter in the universe.
