On behalf of the “Espace de Structure et de réactions Nucléaires Théorique” (ESNT), the workshop entitled: “Symmetry-violating nuclear properties” will be held on 23-27 June at CEA-Saclay, Orme-des-Merisiers site.
Major breakthroughs are expected in the following years on the experimental side using short-lived, radioactive molecules, in the measurements of symmetry violating nuclear properties. Accurate theoretical calculations are therefore urgently needed, together with reliable uncertainties, in order to interpret these results and lead the experimental searches towards the most promising nuclei.
The main goals of this workshop are to:
1. Bring together world leading experts, on the theoretical and experimental side of this field, in order to discuss the rapid progress made in the past few years, as well as the main directions to be pursued in the near future.
2. Discuss the most promising nuclei where large enhancements in the sought for signal are expected and that are suitable for experimental investigation in the next 5 − 10 years.
3. Discuss the prospect of Energy Density Functionals to calculate nuclear Schiff moments and nuclear anapole moments across the entire nuclear chart, with a particular emphasis on the octupole deformed, light actinide region.
4. Discuss the prospect of including chiral parity- and time-reversal violating potentials, as well as two-body currents in nuclear structure calculations using ab initio methods.
5. Discuss the prospects of using emulators and statistical methods to provide reliable uncertainties on the values of the computed physical quantities.
6. Discuss the possibilities of applying ab initio methods to octupole deformed nuclei, where spherical reference states are not suitable anymore.
7. Work towards building a closer collaboration between experimentalists and theorists working in this field.
