Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the 16th International Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC-ⅩⅥ), will be held from September 21 to 25, 2021, in Chengdu, China.
Nuclei in the Cosmos is the most important international meeting in the field of nuclear astrophysics. It brings together nuclear experimentalists, nuclear theorists, astronomers, theoretical astrophysicists, cosmo-chemists, and others interested in the scientific questions at the interface of nuclear physics and astrophysics. These questions concern, for example, the origin of the elements in the cosmos and the nuclear reactions that occur in the big bang, in stars, and in stellar explosions.
NIC-ⅩⅥ is jointly supported by the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Asia-Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP), Asian Nuclear Physics Association (ANPhA), China Center of Advanced Science and Technology (CCAST), and China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The host organization of NIC-ⅩⅥ is China Institute of Atomic Energy (CIAE). Following the highly inspiring spirit of NIC symposium series, NIC-ⅩⅥ will be a great opportunity to exchange scientific and technological progresses and to improve high-level cooperation in nuclear physics and astrophysics community.
Due to the travel regulation of Covid-19, it may be not fully feasible for all the foreign participants to visit Chengdu at the symposium time. NIC-ⅩⅥ will be organized on site in Chengdu, and simultaneously open on line to international speakers and participants. This will ensure free communication in the background of international pandemics of Covid-19.
Thanks to the reccommendations of NIC IAC, we are happy to announce the selected invitation speakers as listed below. The oral and poster speakers will be noticed based on the submitted abstracts.
Attached is the instructions for registration and abstract submission. For other detailed information of the conference, please check the official website of NIC-ⅩⅥ: https://indico.juna.ac.cn/event/1/. In addition, please note that the deadline for registration and abstract submission of the NIC-ⅩⅥ.
Deadline for registration and abstract submission: June 15, 2021.
Date for announcement of oral/poster presentation: June 30, 2021.
We sincerely invite you to participate in this great event of nuclear astrophysics community. We wish to see you in Chengdu in September, or otherwise via web conference of NIC-XVI. Please kindly circulate this annoucement in your institution and among your colleagues who may be interested.
With best regards to all of you. Stay healthy!
