The descriptions that have commonly been used to analyze reactions between stable nuclei are often unrealistic for reactions of weakly bound, unstable nuclei. Some progress has been made in reformulating reaction theories to incorporate the principal features of the reaction mechanisms and apply them to a variety of new phenomena. This work is typically done in terms of simplified few-body models, so the great open problem for the future remains: how to implement the full many-body dynamics. A particular challenge is to perform reaction calculations that exploit the full complexity of the ab-initio structure models, an effort that has grown rapidly in recent years.
The
workshop covered several types of reactions that are of
interest for different reasons. For example, radiative capture,
breakup and transfer reactions can provide single-particle
spectroscopic information, while fusion reactions at low energy and
more violent central collisions at high energy can provide information
about nuclear properties that are crucial to understanding the
conditions
inside neutron stars.
