Centra China Center for Nuclear Theory (C3NT)
Mission:
The Central China Center for Nuclear Theory (C3NT) in the Institute of Particle Physics (IOPP) at the Central China Normal University (CCNU) is designed to provide an open environment that is conducive for cutting-edge research and collaboration in the forefront of nuclear theory and phenomenology with close contact with experiments. These areas of research will cover :
- Nuclear structure
- Nuclear matter under extreme conditions
- Hadron physics
- Nuclear astrophysics and fundamental symmetry
- Quantum computing and AI in nuclear physics
Located in the city of Wuhan at the heart of mainland China with convenient and direct connections to many cities throughout China and Asia, the Center serves as a platform for exchange of new ideas, theoretical and numerical tools with short and long workshops, encouraging collaboration with focused program and training of young scientists with the annual Huada School on QCD. With diverse and vigorous local research programs in IOPP and participating institutions, the Center will also be a hub for regional collaboration among members of participating institutions fermented through the interaction with the international community at the Center.
Programs:
Programs will be selected by the Board of Directors from proposals solicited through annual calls for proposals. Short workshops can be submitted and approved throughout the year based on interest and programs committed for the current year.
- Long workshops: Workshops for up to three weeks on selected topics of current interest. Participants are by invitation only selected by the organizers and are required to stay for at least one week. Ample time will be set aside for discussions and collaboration with only several talks each day. The workshop can have a one-day symposium during the program highlighting the work of participants.
- Short workshops: Workshops for a few days on topics of current and urgent interest. Participants are by invitation only selected by the organizers.
- Huada School on QCD: An annual school which aims to provide basic training in strong interaction physics and related areas for graduate students, postdocs and young researchers in the field of high-energy nuclear and particle physics. The school is normally limited to about 60 participants and focuses on a selected theme each year.
- Regional Meetings: The Center will host one or two regional meetings each year to promote regional collaborations and exchange.
