IX Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and Applications

The IX Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and Applications (LASNPA) covered many topics including nuclear structure and low energy reactions; nuclear and particle astrophysics; the study of matter and the strong force in the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD); tests of fundamental symmetries; rare decays and electroweak physics; applications of nuclear physics in medicine, art/archeology, energy, and national security; and advances in nuclear instrumentation and facilities. These LASNPA Symposia play a key role in establishing and forging links among the many nuclear physics communities in Latin America and their colleagues worldwide.
