Workshop Information

Recent experimental developments at radioactive-beam facilities lead to the capability of measuring quasi-free scattering (QFS) reactions in full kinematics and with high resolution with unstable short-lived nuclei. A fast growing number of results is becoming available demonstrating the large potential of QFS reactions in inverse kinematics to study the single-particle structure of nuclei, cluster phenomena, correlations including short-range correlations, as well as unbound nuclei beyond the driplines. Further extensions of the applications of QFS are being proposed and partly used already, while the next-generation of instrumentation for QFS experiments with radioactive beams is being developed at facilities like R3B at GSI/FAIR and SAMURAI at the RIBF. This goes along with a fast developing progress in reaction theory as well as in nuclear-structure theory, which paves the road towards a quantitative understanding of nuclear properties from the experimental observables.

The topics of the workshop will include: (a) Quasi-free scattering reactions with hadrons and electrons as probes, (b) Reaction theory of quasi-free scattering reactions, (c) Nuclear structure and spectroscopic factors, (d) Nucleon-nucleon and cluster correlations in nuclei, (e) Nuclei at and beyond the drip lines, (f) Polarization observables, (g) Quasi-free scattering with radioactive beams: status and future prospects, (h) Instrumentation for quasi-free scattering in inverse kinematics.

The workshop will be the fourth in a series of international workshops dedicated to the topic of applying QFS in inverse kinematics with radioactive beams, which started 2008 in Trento (Italy), with following workshops in the Azores (Portugal), and York (UK). The 2019 workshop will be held in Maresias, Brazil. Brazil has a long tradition reaction theory, playing a leading role in understanding reactions with exotic nuclei and can be considered as one of the birthplaces of quasi-free scattering with the ground-breaking work of G. Jacob and T. Maris at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. It is only fitting to have this edition of our workshop in Brazil.
