Farewell to Jacek Wrzesiński

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 .

MeanField4Exp service avaialble in the IFJ PAN www domain

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.

Prof. Ryszard Sosnowski passed away

It is very sad to announce that Prof. Ryszard Sosnowski passed away December 6, 2023.

He was an outstanding physicist, member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, honored by the Polish Physical Society in 1994 with the highest distinction – the Smoluchowski Medal.

The funeral ceremony will take place on December 19, 2023 at 11:00 in the Evangelical Augsburg Church at Puławska 2a in Warsaw.
