In the days before the pandemic I wasin the habit of keeping track of conferences coming up that I would potentially think about attending (or perhaps thought readers might). Since there are such things happening in the world again, then I figured I'd resume the tradition. I'll edit the post throughout the year as new things come up.
Since I now work on a combination of nuclear physics and quantum computing, I'm likelt to post conferences about either of those areas, especially if I or a member of my group are actually going.
06/02/2023–11/02/2023: VI Topical Workshop on Modern Aspects in Nuclear Structure: "The Many Facets of Nuclear Structure", Bormio, Italy
A regular workshop organised by the nuclear physics group in Milan. A general conference where I am sure to find a welcome and some interesting topics. As I understand, the venue is also a ski resort, and there is ample time in the programme for skiing. This is not something that particularly attracts me, though I dare say I could get into it. In any case, no matter any other thoughts about it, the registration deadline has passed. [website]
04/04/2023–06/04/2023: IoP Nuclear Physics Conference, York, UK
This is the annual national conference organised by the IoP Nuclear Physics Group and the designated host University. We (Surrey) did it last year, and this year, the honour has fallen to York. As I rule I try to go to the IoP conference to meet up with the community, and support my students who are attending, and to get the latest news in nuclear physics research done in the UK, and the political news coming out of the STFC session that is usually included. This year, though, I've already booked a family holiday for these dates in the kids' Easter holidays. [website]
22/05/2023–26/05/2023: Information and Statistics in Nuclear Experiment and Theory (ISNET-9), St Louis, USA
Part of series whose mission is to bring more sophisticated statistical analysis to nuclear physics, both in experiment and theory. I was involved in co-organising an earlier incarnation of the workshop, and have attended a few of them, though my actual research work on the topic is embarrasingly light. I'd like to attend, and feel a moral obligation to do so as part of the ISNET advisory board, but I am a little uncertain that I can justify the trip [website]
11/06/2023–16/06/2023: Collective Motion in Nuclei under Extreme Conditions (COMEX7), Catania, Italy
This is very on-topic for me, through my interest in different kind of collective state explored using time-dependent calculations. I've been working on such stuff recently, which is poised for acceptence in a journal, judging by the latest (final, surely) referee report, and I think there's a good chance I will try to get to COMEX7 to present the work, if they accept my abstract. I've been at other COMEXes, most recently COMEX6 in 2018. [website]
19/11/2023–24/11/2023: FUSION23, Shizuoka, Japan
A delayed conference which was supposed to be called FUSION20 before it got cancelled in the Covid-19 pandemic. I had submitted an abstract for FUSION20 on work I had done looking at the effect of the surface energy on fusion properties [here]. I'll have to decide if I want to pick back up on that and finish the work to present it at the conference and then write up as a longer paper. As with COMEX, mentioned above, I've been to a few conferences in this series already, as it's a core part of my traditional nuclear physics research. [website]
