Nuclear Reaction Rates for the s-process (Opens in a new window)

Naples, Italy

Workshops & Conferences

The slow neutron capture process (s-process) is one of the main mechanisms for the production of heavy elements in stars. In the recent years great effort was devoted on improving our knowledge on the nuclear reactions primarily responsible for s-process, i.e.13C(a,n)16O and 22Ne(a,n)25Mg.

LUNA: Present and Future of Nuclear Astrophysics at LNGS featuring Federico Ferraro (LNGS) (Opens in a new window)

Online

Seminars

Hosted by: Denise Piatti (University of Padova)

The LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) experiment is located at the LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) in Italy. LUNA is aimed at studying the nuclear reactions that are responsible for the synthesis of the elements and shape the life of stars in the universe. The reduction of the cosmic-rays induced background provided by the 1400 m thick rock overburden at LNGS allows the direct measurement of the cross section in the energy range relevant to astrophysics.

Spectroscopic observations as tracers of stellar nucleosynthesis featuring Shreeya Shetye (KU Leuven) (Opens in a new window)

Online

Seminars

Hosted by: Thibaut Dumont (CNRS Strasbourg)

The groundwork for stellar nucleosynthesis was established over 70 years ago, marking the beginning of a fascinating journey. Since then, substantial progress has unfolded on both theoretical and observational fronts. On the theoretical side, intricate models of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis have evolved, utilising increasingly precise nuclear data. Simultaneously, the observational realm has witnessed a significant rise in the number of stars analysed.
