DESCRIPTION:Workshop on Fission Dynamics 2026\nMay 11th–15th\, 2026 | Vo
 co Hotel Chongqing\, China\nThe Workshop on Fission Dynamics will be held 
 in Chongqing\, China\, from May 11th to15th\, 2026. This meeting is hosted
  by Southwest University and Chongqing University\, with support from the
  National Natural Science Foundation of China’s Theoretical Physics Spec
 ial Fund “Southwest Center for Theoretical Physics” project. The work
 shop aims to bring together leading experts and young researchers in the 
 field of nuclear fission to discuss recent advancements in theoretical and
  experimental studies\, explore new methodologies\, and foster collaborati
 ons on key challenges in fission dynamics.\nScientific Background\nThe pro
 cess of nuclear fission\, in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two 
 or more fragments while releasing a significant amount of energy\, was fir
 st discovered in 1938. This landmark finding not only revolutionized our u
 nderstanding of nuclear physics but also led to major technological advanc
 es\, particularly in energy production and nuclear applications. Over the 
 past eight decades\, extensive experimental and theoretical efforts have b
 een devoted to understanding the fundamental mechanisms of fission\, its a
 pplications\, and its implications for nuclear stability\, element formati
 on in astrophysics\, and energy production. From a physical perspective\, 
 nuclear fission is a complex process governed by a delicate interplay of m
 acroscopic and microscopic forces. The nucleus\, a self-bound mesoscopic q
 uantum system\, undergoes large-amplitude collective motion as it deforms 
 towards scission. This process is influenced by nuclear interactions\, she
 ll effects\, and pairing correlations\, that determine the energy landscap
 e of fission pathways. Fission fragment distributions\, neutron multiplici
 ties\, total kinetic energy distributions\, and angular momenta are key ob
 servables that encode essential information about the underlying nuclear s
 tructure and dynamics.\n\nSignificant advancements have been reported in b
 oth experimental and theoretical studies of nuclear fission in recent year
 s:\nExperimental Progress: High-precision experiments using advanced detec
 tion techniques and next-generation accelerators have provided unprecedent
 ed data on fission fragment properties\, neutron emission spectra\, and ti
 me-dependent fission observables. The development of sophisticated fission
  chambers\, ion traps\, and coincidence measurements has enabled a more de
 tailed characterization of fission processes across different isotopes an
 d excitation energies.Theoretical Developments: The refinement of Macrosco
 pic-Microscopic model\, density functional theory (DFT)\, scission point m
 odel\, and Langevin model has greatly improved our ability to describe th
 e entire fission process from initial excitation to final fragment distrib
 ution. Recent studies have also incorporated machine learning techniques 
 to enhance predictive capabilities and reduce computational costs.Challen
 ges and Open Questions: Despite these advances\, many fundamental question
 s remain unresolved. The integration of microscopic and macroscopic appro
 aches to provide a unified fission framework is still an ongoing challenge
 . The role of quantum correlations\, the impact of dynamical pairing effe
 cts\, and the prediction of fission yields with high accuracy require furt
 her investigation. Additionally\, implications of fission for nuclear astr
 ophysics\, particularly in r-process nucleosynthesis\, necessitate a deep
 er understanding of fission fragment distributionsunder extreme conditions
 .\nGiven these developments and challenges\, this workshop aims to bring t
 ogether leading experts in nuclear fission research to discuss recent prog
 ress\, identify key open questions\, and explore future directions in both
  experimental and theoretical approaches. By fostering collaboration betwe
 en experimentalists and theorists\, we seek to refine our understanding of
  nuclear fission and its broader implications for fundamental and applied 
 nuclear physics.\nWorkshop Objectives\n1. Review recent advances in experi
 mental and theoretical approaches.2. Assess the current limitations of exi
 sting experimental techniques and theoretical models.3. Identify new compu
 tational strategies and their role in enhancing predictive accuracy.4. Fos
 ter collaboration between experimentalists and theorists to improve data i
 ntegration andmodel validation.5. Explore emerging applications and their 
 implications for future research.We invite researchers with both experimen
 tal and theoretical backgrounds to participate in this workshop\n \n\nhtt
