Abstract
The international conference series ''NUBA Conference Series 1: Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics'' was held on September 14-21 2014 in Antalya-Turkey. Akdeniz University hosted the conference and the Adrasan Training and Application Centre was chosen as a suitable venue to bring together scientists from all over the world as well as from different parts of Turkey. The conference was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBìTAK) and Akdeniz University Nuclear Sciences Application and Research Center (NUBA).
Based on the highly positive remarks received from the participants both during and after the conference, we believe that the event has proven to be a fulfilling experience for all those who took part. The conference provided an opportunity for the participants to share their ideas and experiences in addition to exploring possibilities for future collaborations. Participants of the conference focused on:
• Nuclear Structure and Interactions
• Nuclear Reactions,
• Photonuclear Reactions and Spectroscopy
• Nuclear and Particle Astrophysics
• Nuclear Processes in Early Universe
• Nuclear Applications
• New Facilities and Instrumentation
Participants included a number of distinguished invited speakers. There was significant interest from the international nuclear physics community and numerous abstracts and papers were submitted. The scientific committee conducted a careful and rigorous selection process, as a result of which 75 contributions were accepted. Of those, 65 of them were given as oral and 10 as poster presentations. The superb quality of the papers ensured fruitful discussion sessions. We thank all the participants for their efforts and also for promptly sending in their papers for publication. This issue of the Journal of Physics: Conference Series was peer-reviewed by expert referees and we also thank them for peer-reviewing the papers.
The national and international advisory committee also deserve appreciation for their involvement in the shaping of the conference programme. The local organizing committee, Mesut Karakoç, Haris Djapo, Fatih Ozmen and Deniz Kaya worked diligently and ensured that the programme ran smoothly. We sincerely thank them all.
Our final thanks go to IOP for publishing the proceedings in a most timely and meticulous manner.
We hope to see the participants again in Turkey, in the second conference of this series.
