This is the 4th in a series of conferences dedicated to the recent achievements, both in theory and experiment, in nuclear reactions and structure, chemistry and spectroscopy of the transactinide elements. The previous TAN conferences were held in Germany (Seeheim-Jugenheim, 1999), the USA (Napa, California, 2003) and Switzerland (Davos, 2007).

Venue: The TAN’11 Conference will be held from 5-11 September 2011 in Sochi (Russia), which is located in a picturesque area with its own unique climate at the Black Sea coast and combines pleasures of the sea with the mountain landscape. For many years it has been known as one of the most popular Russian resorts. The International Olympic Committee has delegated to Sochi the right to act as the host city of the 2014 Olympic Games.

The Conference will be held in the Admiral Conference Hall of the Hotel “Parus”. A smaller hall will also be available for group discussions.

Organisation: The conference is organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR), Dubna. Presumably, it will be sponsored by the Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research.

Scientific Programme: The scope of the TAN’11 Conference includes the traditional topics in the field of transactinide science, covering both physical and chemical research:

  • Physics experiments – synthesis and properties
  • Spectroscopy
  • Nuclear physics theory
  • Experimental chemical studies
  • Theory on chemical properties of the transactinides.

The conference programme will also include a Symposium dedicated to the 100th anniversary of awarding the Nobel Prize for chemistry to Maria Sklodowska-Curie.

The list of invited speakers (about 15: 40 min each) will be announced in the Second Circular by December 2010. Short oral presentations (about 40: 20 min each) will be selected by the International Advisory Committee among the applications. A poster session is also planned.

By the beginning of the Conference a Booklet of Abstracts, consisting of all the abstracts submitted to the Organizing Committee by April 15, 2011, will be printed. The Organizing Committee needs the abstracts for the selection of the oral presentations to be included in the programme. The abstracts should not exceed 1 page (17 cm x 25.5 cm) and are to be submitted as Microsoft Word, PostScript or PDF files desirably by E-mail completely ready for direct reproduction. The Booklet will be distributed to all participants during the conference registration.
