SHIRIA Work Group
Studies of Heavy-Ion Reactions at RIA

General Information

The SHIRIA Work Group represents the heavy-ion reaction community, specifically its experimental segment. In collaboration with associated theory groups, it intends to

• explore opportunities for mechanistic research using secondary RIA beams with emphasis on isospin-related reaction dynamics and nuclear decay,
• devise general principles of a new research strategy in mechanistic isospin physics,
• investigate the interface between isospin dependent nuclear structure and reaction mechanism, 
• establish requirements on beams, experimental areas, detection equipment, and other infrastructure related to the anticipated research.
