Overview

We are pleased to announce that the 16th International Symposium on Origin of Matter and Evolution of Galaxies (OMEG16), which will be held at the Institute of Physics, Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, 10 Dao Tan, Ba Dinh, Ha Noi, Viet Nam. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, OMEG16 has been rescheduled to 25 - 28 October 2022. The symposium will be organized in hybrid mode, on-site and online.

OMEG16 belongs to a series of biannual symposium started in 1988, bringing together researchers and students from interdisciplinary fields of nuclear physics, particle physics, astronomy, astrophysics, earth and planetary physics to address and discuss various questions on the origin of matter and evolution of universe.

Following the success of previous OMEG symposiums, of which recently helded in Beijing, China (2015), Daejeon, Korea (2017) and Kyoto, Japan (2019), OMEG16 will facilitate stimulus exchange through a scientific program that cover most recent experimental and theoretical advances in the following topics:

• Big Bang Cosmology and Primordial Nucleosynthesis
• First Generation Stars and Galactic Chemical Evolution
• Astronomical Observations with Light, X-Ray, Gamma-Ray, and Cosmic-Ray
• Stellar Evolutions and Hydrostatic Burning Processes
• Nuclear Matter and Neutron Stars
• Explosive Stellar Objects and Nuclear Physics
• Meteorite Analysis and Isotopic Abundance
• Theoretical Nuclear Physics for Astrophysics
• Experimental Nuclear Physics for Astrophysics
• Nuclear Data for Astrophysics and Related Topics
• Underground Nuclear Astrophysics
• Next generation RI Beam Facilities for Nuclear Astrophysics

• In-person participant: 150 USD
• Student (in-person): 50 USD
• Online participant: 30 USD

Conference fee for on-site participants should be paid at the conference venue in cash. Payment method for online participants is posted here.

• All accepted papers will be published in Communications in Physics (ISSN 0886–3166, founded by the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology).
• The journal has been published quarterly in English since 1991 on new results of theoretical and experimental research works in all fields of physics.

• A two-day school just before the symposium (October 23 - October 24) will be organized by the LOC of OMEG16 in collaboration with lecturers from VNU University of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi. The school will provide students with introductory courses on nuclear astrophysics.
• The tentative schedule and registration are detailed on the INDICO website for the OMEG school at: https://indico.maygiatoc.com/e/omeg16school
