On Monday 25^th of March 2024,  at 17:00 in the room 0.06 of the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw

prof. Yoo Ki-Pung will give a lecture

Civilization, Climate Crisis & South Korea’s Rise as a Nuclear Energy Powerhouse

Professor Yoo is the Chancellor of Kepco International Nuclear Graduate School (KINGS), a Korean university specializing in nuclear energy education. KINGS has been supporting the University of Warsaw for years, including: financing long-term stays of students. Prof.’s visit Yoo is associated with the signing of a new agreement between KINGS and the University of Warsaw, based on which a European training center in nuclear energy will be established at the Faculty of Physics.

Jacek Wrzesiński has passed away – he was a physicist at the Henryk Niewodniczański Institute of Nuclear Physics (IFJ PAN) in Cracow.

We all know him from his works on a nuclear structure studied with a gamma spectroscopy. But we will also remember him as a charismatic participant of the conferences in Zakopane and on Mazurian Lakes.

We will miss him very much in the PPS Nuclear Physics Section .

In the WWW domain of IFJ PAN, on the dedicated Internet platform, the

MeanField4Exp service

has been launched, allowing access to a database of results of advanced theoretical calculations of the structure of nuclei, using the modern mean-field approach, and their graphical presentation. The package of programs creating and operating this database was developed by Professor Jerzy Dudek of the University of Strasbourg and implemented by young physicists from Department of the Structure of Atomic Nucleus  IFJ PAN (Dr. Irena Dedes and Dr. Abdelgafahr Gaamouci). Among other things, the interactive database search allows sketching the single-particle energy and total energy in nuclei over a wide range of atomic and mass numbers – Z and A, as a function of various shape deformation parameters and angular momentum of the selected nuclide. The results are presented in graphically attractive, fully editable charts and maps. The MeanField4Exp service is part of the Theo4Exp package, belonging to the European Horizon Europe- EURO-LABS project , in which Polish institutes IFJ PAN, HIL UW and INTC participate. This tool is dedicated to experimental physicists. Its purpose is to facilitate the interpretation of measurement data collected in experiments on the structure of nuclei and the mechanism of nuclear reactions, carried out on ion beams in European accelerator laboratories.
