Description of talk:
Understanding nuclei is a quantum many-body problem of incredible richness and diversity and studies of nuclei address some of the great challenges that are common throughout modern science. Nuclear structure theory strives to build a unified and comprehensive microscopic framework in which bulk nuclear properties, nuclear excitations, and nuclear reactions can all be described. In this talk, advances in nuclear structure research will be reviewed in the context of the main scientific questions. Particular attention will bo given to the worldwide effort in rare isotope studies and to the progress in theoretical studies of nuclei due to the advent of terascale computing platforms.
The lecture will not be technical and is suitable for postgraduate research students and for academic staff who would like to hear about recent developments in nuclear theory.
