INT Workshop, University of Washington
Nov. 14-17 2005
Pairing degrees of freedom in nuclei and the nuclear medium

The purpose of this four-day workshop is to consolidate our knowledge of 
the pairing interaction and pairing effects in nuclei.  The themes
of the four days are:

Monday, Nov. 14   
The interaction.  
--Effective interactions from two-particle potentials or T-matrices.  
--Role of medium polarization
--Constraints from symmetries

Tuesday Nov. 15 
Nuclear structure applications
--Computational methods.        
    -HFB methods     
    -shell model
    -particle-number projection
    -treatment of continuum
    -treatment of cutoff
--global surveys  
--excitations  
    -QRPA
    -role of angular momentum  
    -thermal properties and pairing phase transition
    -beta decay

Wednesday Nov. 16
Astrophysical Context.  
--Proton and neutron pairing.
--vortices
--Pasta phase of nuclear matter. 
--Transport at positive neutron chemical potential.  

Thursday Nov. 17
Summary and Discussion.  
Near-term and far-term open problems, homework problems
