Young Researcher's Award Session
- Alejandro Kievsky (INFN)
Description
The Few-Body Young Researcher's Prize will be awarded, and the two awardees will deliver their talks.
The 0$^+$ excited state of $^{12}$C at 7.65 MeV is named after Sir Fred Hoyle, who proposed its existence in order to account for stellar abundances of carbon [1,2]. Aside from this astrophysical significance, it is thought to possess a curious $\alpha$-cluster structure. However, many questions still remain. To what extent can this state be described as three interacting $\alpha$-particles,...
Universality connects few-nucleon systems to seemingly very different areas of physics, ranging from cold atoms to hadronic molecules. An important principle that guides the description of all these systems is the existence of a separation of scales. The key insight is that it is possible to built a theory where all forces are of short range, while the universal physics of interest is...
