Each Invited Session consists of three 36 min invited presentations. The planned Invited Sessions for DNP 2025 are listed below and further details are given in the DNP Epitome.
- Advancing Nuclear Science at ATLAS
Organizers: Melina Avila Coronado (Argonne), Peter Mueller (Argonne), and Marco Siciliano (Argonne)
Argonne's Tandem Linac Accelerator System (ATLAS) is a premier national user facility supported by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Physics. It provides beams of stable and radioactive ions, enabling a vibrant community of scientists to conduct cutting-edge nuclear physics research. This invited session will highlight the extensive impact and future opportunities of ATLAS-based research in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, precision measurements, and accelerator technology. - Fingerprints from Exotic Nuclei on Astrophysical Transients
Organizers: Nicole Vassh (TRIUMF) and Hendrik Schatz (MSU)
Observations of electromagnetic transients from astrophysical events such as supernovae, neutron star mergers, and x-ray bursts are especially exciting in the field of nuclear astrophysics due to their ability to not only provide constraints on the environment but to also point to the influence of specific types of nuclei or even specific isotopes. This session presents how gamma-rays and x-rays can be used to probe the specifics of the nucleosynthesis at three distinct sites. - From RHIC to the EIC
Organizers: Daniel Cebra (UC Davis)
Collisions at RHIC create a hot quark-gluon plasma while the EIC will probe the cold QCD structure of the nucleon and nucleus. Techniques and methods which have been developed at RHIC prepare the field for the Electron-Ion Collider. - New Developments in Short-Range Nuclear Structure
Organizers: Nadia Fomin (UTK) and Douglas Highinbotham (Jefferson Lab)
New results from multiple experimental campaigns in the US and abroad are being finalized that will shed new light on the field, both in terms of depth and breadth of our knowledge. This is complemented by new theoretical advances to help interpret the rich abundance of data. - Nuclear Physics in GeV-scale Neutrino Interactions
Organizers: Rik Gran (UMN Duluth), Steven Gardiner (Fermilab), and Jim Napolitano (Temple)
Foundational questions of present interest in particle physics can only be answered with a precise understanding of GeV neutrino reactions with nuclei. Recent years have seen remarkable progress in experimental studies of these reactions, both through direct measurements using accelerator neutrino beams and indirect probes of the same physics with electrons. This session will highlight some of the latest results from this rapidly growing field, showcasing both advances in nuclear understanding and their applications to the pursuit of new discoveries in high-energy physics. - The Latest on Neutrinos
Organizers: David Brown (BNL)
Fascinating progress has been made in neutrino physics, including the first observation of reactor antineutrinos following coherent scattering, a record-breaking high energy neutrino event observed in deep Mediterranean waters, and new precise measurements of electron spectra for selected fission products that should help us understand the origin of the reactor antineutrino anomaly.
