NIC Excellence Project 2014

At its April meeting, the NIC Peer Review Board decided to award an outstanding simulation project with the title of NIC Excellence Project. "The Strong Interaction at Neutron-Rich Extremes", submitted by Prof. Dr. Achim Schwenk (Technische Universität Darmstadt, Institut für Kernphysik), develops and employs new computational methods for the prediction of extreme neutron-rich matter in astrophysics and of exotic nuclei. The latter can be investigated, for example, at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). For more details, see http://www.john-von-neumann-institut.de/nic/exzellenz-2014 (in German).
