Accuracy Précision I) Are nuclei at the limits of particle stability, beyond what can be measured today going to answer THE questions* ? How much beyond do we need to go and why ? Are there “ key “ nuclei? How much are we hampered by lack of P and A in the measurements ? Will looking at high precision data and detailed information help? Do we need to measure all observables measured using stable beams with Nuclei far from stability ? Do we have enough data today to look at in a consistent manner already to address THE questions* ? Did we fully exploit the data that we already have ? II) Are there new experimental methods that we need to invent ? What do you dream of measuring but cannot today? Is 10 days the maximum we can invest in an experiment today? How compelling is our need a next generation ISOL facility ? III) Do we need to understand (dynamics) - the beauty of the reaction mechanism Should we differentiate between authors/acknowledgment or go the Particle Physics way *THE questions
You die the day your dream dies
Summary: Status and perspectives * Multipole response of nuclei -Not much information for unstable nuclei so far -PDR problem, no GDR systematics, no GQR, no GMR -In principle, experimental techniques have been developed, need beams and investment ! --> RIBF, FAIR FRIB * EoS of asymmetric matter -Many attempts and constraints already; relation of observables to symmetry energy: model dependencies -> many methods? better theory? Changes along isotopic chains ?) -Heavy ion collisions with n-rich beams might provide info for higher densities how large is model dependence ? * Single-particle structure and correlations -How can we understand the quenching of s.p.-strength as a function of Sn-Sp ? -Can give QFS cross sections reliable information ? -Observables directly related to tensor/short-range correlations ? -E.g. experiments like p,2pn with radioactive beams * Drip line -Elaborated experimental techniques available -Haloes and states beyond drip line can be studied with high precision up to Z=8 now -Heavier haloes at RIKEN, later FIR and FRIB (starting 2020) * Stable nuclei -Many open questions even for stable nuclei, precision experiments needed, -also important to pursue with RIB experiments and interpretation * Reaction Theory !

Conclusions-Nasser Many-body theories have come a long way. These days, they can work with chiral nuclear forces as well. 3NF should be better understood though. New reaction theories based on these new developments should now be worked on. Light hadron scattering can be used at low momentum transfers to probe fundamental properties of nuclei such as density distributions, compressibility and in general collective properties, beta-decay rates etc. Equation of state of asymmetric matter is highly desired. Electron scattering from radioactive nuclei sheds light on charge-density distribution at low momentum transfers. BE(2) can be studied in several cases. Magnetic properties and QFS will prove to be very difficult with the present intensities. NOTE: This is only a subset of all nuclear-structure activities around the world.
