Prof. Timothy Beers (MSU)10/10/2005, 14:00I summarize recent observational progress on measurement of the elemental abundances of early generation stars, which have recorded (and preserved) the first episodes of nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. I discuss two major recent surveys, one just completed, one just beginning. The first, the Hamburg/ESO R-process-Enhanced Star (HERES) survey has obtained ``snapshot'' high-resolution...Go to contribution page

Dr Ari Jokinen (University of Jyvaskyla)10/10/2005, 15:15A variety of astrophysical processes contribute to the synthesis of heavier elements in nature. The characteristics of the processes are governed by the astrophysical environment and details of the nuclear processes involved. Experiments performed at ISOLDE have played a central role in developing understanding of these processes. In this presentation, highlights to be discussed...Go to contribution page

Dr Maria Lugaro (University of Cambridge)10/10/2005, 16:10The first evidence of the occurrence of nucleosynthesis in stars was provided in the 1950s by the detection of the unstable heavy element technetium in the atmospheres of stars on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), a late evolutionary phase of stars of low mass. Technetium can be produced by slow neutron captures (the s process) and thus its detection requires that neutron source...Go to contribution page

Prof. John D'Auria (Simon Fraser University)10/10/2005, 16:35As pointed out by Willie Fowler, the goals of nuclear astrophysics are to understand the mechanism of Nucleosynthesis and the process of energy generation in stellar environments. While a good deal is now known on what occurs in quiescent stellar burning, much less is known about pathways to heavy element production in explosive scenario. The former is largely dominated by nuclear...Go to contribution page

Dr Michael Heil (FZK Karlsruhe)10/10/2005, 17:00In the last decades considerable effort in experimental nuclear astrophysics, stellar modelling, and observations led to an improved understanding of various nucleosynthesis scenarios. This is particularly true for the main s process in low-mass AGB stars, which is largely responsible for the production of about half of the elemental abundances in the mass range 90 ≤ A ≤ 209. The weak s...Go to contribution page

Dr Stéphane GORIELY10/10/2005, 17:25Important effort has been devoted in the last decades to measure reaction cross sections. These measurements are fundamental to put the nuclear astrophysics models on a sound basis. However, despite such effort, many nuclear applications, and most particularly nuclear astrophysics, still require the use of theoretical predictions to estimate experimentally unknown cross sections. Most...Go to contribution page

Dr Maria Jose Garcia Borge (IEM-CSIC)11/10/2005, 08:30Physics at the proton and neutron drip linesInvited oral contributionFor nuclei far from stability the differences in isobaric masses increases quadratically and the binding energy of the last nucleon decreases dramatically making beta-delayed particle emission the dominant decay channel at the drip lines. Beta decay is a well understood process and allows for a wide variety of spectroscopic information to be extracted from experiment: level energies,...Go to contribution page

Established landmarks in the nuclear landscape like the magic numbers are weakened or displaced, and the nuclear spin-orbit interaction appears to diminish. In the most extreme nuclear systems that can be experimentally studied today, various types of...Go to contribution page

In this talk first I will state the problem of Physics at the proton and neutron drip lines in general terms of understanding the structure of the matter.

Dr William Marciano (BNL)11/10/2005, 13:30A new method for computing hadronic effects on electroweak radiative corrections to low energy semileptonic weak interaction processes is described.

Dr Klaus Blaum (Univeristy of Mainz)11/10/2005, 14:00Like few other parameters, the mass of an atom, and its inherent connection with the atomic and nuclear binding energy is a fundamental property, a unique fingerprint of the atomic nucleus. Each nuclide comes with its own mass value different from all others. For short-lived exotic atomic nuclei the importance of its mass ranges from the verification of nuclear models to a test of the...Go to contribution page
