Structure and Reactions with Exotic Nuclei within the INFN-PI32 network

Abstract

The INFN (Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics) has approved a national theoretical network on "Structure and Reactions with Exotic Nuclei". The project involves the INFN branches of Laboratorio Nazionale del Sud, Padova and Pisa. The aim of the project is to start coordinating and to homogenize the research already performed in Italy in this field and to strengthen and improve the Italian contribution on the international scenario. Furthermore it aims at creating a solid theoretical structure to support future experimental facilities at the INFN national laboratories such as SPES at LNL and EXCYT at LNS. A review of present and future activities is presented.
