Description
The RI beam accelerator facility called RAON is under construction in Korea. One of the experimental facilities called KoBRA is expected to carry out nuclear astrophysics and nuclear structure experiments in the early phase of RAON. Several experiments using both stable and RI beams of tens of MeV/nucleon are considered for understanding explosive nuclear synthesis in stellar sites such as X-ray bursts and novae as well as the origin of proton-rich elements in the rp-process. Several important detector systems are being developed by CENS, which was established three years ago. The status of RAON and prospect for nuclear astrophysics experiments will be discussed.
