55. Arbeitstreffen Kernphysik 2026

22 Feb 2026, 09:00 → 28 Feb 2026, 12:30 Europe/Zurich

Schulstraße 4 (Schlechinger Bürgerhaus)

Frank Maas

The 'Arbeitstreffen Kernphysik' is a yearly meeting of members of German and international experts on nuclear science which goes back to 1970. The aim is to provide a regular review of progress in various subareas of nuclear science and to use this occasion to introduce young students and postdocs into the field.

The meeting is by invitation only and organized by the Schleching Organizing Committee, 
currently consisting of:

Frank Maas (chair), Sonia Bacca, Daniel Bemmerer, Peter Braun-Munzinger, Evgeny Epelbaum, Silvia Masciocchi, Stephan Paul
