Thirteenth Symposium on Nuclear Physics at Oaxtepec, Mexico. Foreign trip report, January 2-13, 1990.

摘要

The traveler attended the ''XIII Symposium on Nuclear Physics'' at Oaxtepec, Mexico. The series of symposia was started by M. Moshinsky and his group from the Instituto de Fisica of the National University of Mexico and has been continued successfully for 13 years. This year the organizers were all young physicists from the Instituto de Fisica, and they managed to put together an interesting program of 18 invited talks covering current issues of Nuclear Physics. About 40 scientists attended, of which 13 were graduate students. Following the meeting the traveler visited the Instituto de Fisica (IFUNAM) to work on the analysis of experiments started last year at HHIRF at ORNL. One of these is (58)Ni + (27)Al elastic scattering done in collaboration with M. Brandan. We worked on the implementation of the ORNL Physics Division scanning programs, and they are now successfully running on the VAX computer at IFUNAM. Another experiment on which we worked was the sub-Coulomb fusion of (58)Ni, (64)Ni + (90)Zr done in collaboration with M. E. Ortiz and A. Dacal. The traveler gave invited seminars at IFUNAM on channeling experiments and at ININ Tandem Laboratory on statistical model calculations. Discussions were held with several members of IFUNAM, including the director, to plan for future collaborations.
