Dear Colleagues,

The International Workshop on "Direct reactions with Exotic Beams" (DREB2007) will be held in Wako campus of RIKEN, conveniently located in the suburb of Tokyo, on May 30-June 2, 2007. This is a satellite workshop of the International Nuclear Physics Conference at Tokyo (June 3-8, 2007); see http://www.inpc2007.jp/.

DREB2007 is the fifth International Workshop in a series of workshops initialized by researchers from MSU, Florida, Saclay and Orsay. The earlier meetings were held in 1999 at Michigan State University (USA), in 2001 at IPN Orsay (France), in 2003 at the University of Surrey (England) and in 2005 at Michigan State University (USA). DREB2007 intends to present the latest topics in the field and stimulate fruitful discussions.

DREB2007 is hosted by Faculty of Science at Kyushu University_1), RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science_2) and Center for Nuclear Study (CNS) at the University of Tokyo_3).

We are looking forward to seeing you in Wako campus of RIKEN.

Scientific Program

The scientific content will address the extraction of nuclear structure and astrophysical information from direct reactions with exotic beams as well as the understanding of reaction mechanisms. It will include the latest theoretical and experimental topics on varieties of reaction studies.

The workshop consists of oral and poster presentations. A large number of the talks will be selected from the submitted abstracts (see below). We will inform the result of the selection by April 6, 2007.

Financial support

Limited funds are available for support of young participants, primarily by waiving registration fees and possibly by supporting accommodations. Those who wish to obtain these partial supports may contact us via e-mail with the title of "DREB2007 support" at . Since the fund is extremely limited, the selection will be made by the Organizers.

A special student program for Ph.D-course students of nuclear and hadron physics is planned at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech). Details are found in the following website:
