DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Indranil Mazumdar (Dept. of Nuclear & Atomic Physics
 \, Tata Institute of Fundamental Research\, Mumbai)\n\nHeavy-ion induced r
 eactions have been playing a preeminent role in low and medium energy nucl
 ear structure and reaction studies for well over last five decades. Howeve
 r\, notwithstanding the overarching role of heavy ions in nuclear physics\
 , the light-ion induced reactions continue to remain relevant for both fun
 damental and applied research in. Continued efforts of over seven decades 
 have yielded a huge body of information\, both experimental and theoretica
 l\, from light ion induced nuclear reactions. Proton induced elastic and i
 nelastic scattering and capture reactions provide crucial insights on stru
 ctures of ground and low-lying excited states\, Giant Dipole Resonances (G
 DR) built upon ground and low-lying states\, possible cluster states in li
 ght nuclei etc. Proton induced scattering and capture studies have proved 
 to be invaluable for testing nuclear reaction models and also nature of nu
 cleon-nucleus interactions. Another important dimension of proton induced 
 capture reaction is studies in nuclear astrophysics\, namely\, nucleosynth
 esis. Cross sections and astrophysical S factors of proton induced capture
  reactions ranging over few tens of keV to MeV provide information of elem
 ent formations in different astrophysical environments and epochs. Moving 
 over to applied physics\, proton induced capture and scattering reactions 
 are important in materials science\, trace element analysis\, reactor phys
 ics and power generation.\nAt TIFR\, we have initiated a broad program to 
 study important reactions of Nuclear Astrophysics and also nuclear structu
 re at low excitation energies using low to medium energy proton beams from
  existing facilities in the country. In this talk I will summarise some of
  these efforts and present very new measurements using proton and alpha be
 ams. The talk is primarily aimed to create renewed interests in light ion 
 induced reactions and revisit many unresolved problems of nuclear physics.
 \nFinally\, the speaker would like to mention the genuine need of reviving
  low and medium energy polarised beam/target facilities\, now virtually no
 n-existent anywhere in the world and to provide a new impetus to the studi
 es of nucleon-nucleon interactions through global collaboration renewed ef
 forts.\n\nhttps://indico.ifj.edu.pl/event/1664/
