New perspectives on p-shell nuclei - the nuclear shell model and beyond

A workshop held at Michigan State University on July 22-24, 2004

Over the last decade there have been many new theoretical developments for mesoscopic systems that have refined our understanding of the structure of light nuclei. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together those who work on diverse theoretical methods for the nuclei with Z=2 to 8. The talks and discussions at this workshop will have implications for the evolution of models for all nuclei, in particular, those that will be studied at the new generation of radioactive beam facilities, and those that are necessary for nuclear astrophysics.

Organizing committee - Alex Brown (MSU), John Millener (BNL), Taka Otsuka (Tokyo) and Bob Wiringa (Argonne). Local committee - Filomena Nunes and Vladimir Zelevinsky
