The Symposium will be organized at Kazimierz Dolny, Poland, starting at the evening of September 10th, 2017. There will be a gathering of symposium participants in Warsaw organized on Saturday evening of September 9th.The tour of Marie Curie Skłodowska museum at the Old City of Warsaw is planned on Sunday morning, September 10th, followed by lunch at Old City and conference bus ride to Kazimierz Dolny. The lectures will start at the evening of September 10th. The departure bus to Warsaw is planned for the morning of September 14th .Other organizational details will be announced at the 2nd circular of SHE 2017.
The symposium is jointly organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna), University of Maria Curie-Skłodowska (UMCS, Lublin), National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ, Warsaw) and the University of Warsaw (UW, Warsaw).
Yuri Ts. Oganessian (JINR-FLNR Dubna) serves as a Chair of the International Scientific Committee, and Michal Warda (UMCS Lublin) serves as a Chair of the Organizing Committee. Symposium is co-chaired by Michal Kowal (NCBJ Warsaw) and Sergei N. Dmitriev (JINR – FLNR, Dubna).
The discovery of superheavy elements poses many fundamental questions in the physics and chemistry of super heavy nuclei and elements:
New powerful laboratories including the Super-Heavy Element Factory at Dubna and SPIRAL-II facility at GANIL as well as upgrades at RIKEN and other facilities under consideration together with neutron-rich actinide targets and possibly radioactive isotope beams and improved separation and detection methods can help us answer these questions and continue the discoveries at the top of nuclear and atomic worlds. The symposium will address these topics and help define a strategy for successful expansion of our understanding of the heaviest isotopes and atomic elements.
