Welcome to the DUSEL Nuclear Astrophysics Group!

The DUSEL-NAG is a working group coordinated by JINA ( Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics ). This group will study the potential for making important measurements for nuclear astrophysics "located in the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL)" that require a small particle accelerator and very low backgrounds. The measurements made will be applied to the understanding of nuclear reactions and other processes in stars.

The International Workshop on Stopping and Manipulation of Ions and related topics (SMI-10) will be held at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, on March 21-24, 2010. Details

The NSF has approved the S4 funding for the development of an underground accelerator facility at DUSEL. The main goal of the facility is the measurement of low energy reaction cross sections of relevance for stellar nucleosynthesis processes. The Dakota Ion Accelerators for Nuclear Astrophysics DIANA will consist of two accelerators to cover a broader energy range than presently possible at the LUNA facility at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. The figure shows a conceptual design of the DIANA facility (Click on the figure).   Visit DIANA website
