Tuesday - Session 4: Facilities and new technology for Nuclear Astrophysics
- Seiya Hayakawa (Center for Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo)
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...
First result from the R3 ring and scope for the r-process nuclei (tentative)
The study of the origins of heavy elements has been a critical issue for nuclear physics since short-lived nuclides far from the stability line are involved in synthesizing them. Notably, the rapid neutron capture process (r-process), which is considered to contribute to half of the nuclides heavier than iron, requires more knowledge of the nuclear properties of very neutron-rich...
I will present the activities and results of doing nuclear astrophysics research in IFIN-HH Bucharest-Magurele, Romania, in the last few years. Mostly from the Nuclear Astrophysics Group (NAG), which continued the two basic types of experimental activities:
- Direct measurements at low and very low energies with beams from the local 3 MV tandetron accelerator. Extra sensitivity is provided by...
Jinping Underground experiment for Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA) takes advantage of the ultralow background of the CJPL. Commissioning of mA level high current accelerator based on an ECR source and BGO and 3He detectors finished in 2020. JUNA started experiments to directly study the many crucial reactions occurring at relevant stellar energies during the evolution stars. JUNA performed the...
