29. MAJOR ACCELERATOR FACILITIES FOR NUCLEAR PHYSICS IN ASIA PACIFIC

Prof. Kazuhiro Tanaka (KEK, High Energy Accelerator Research Organization)

Facilities

Asian Nuclear Physics Association (ANPhA) is the central organization representing nuclear physics in Asia Pacific. ANPhA is now preparing a list of accelerator facilities applicable for nuclear physics experiments in Asia Pacific. Among them, characteristics of world class “Major” accelerator facilities will briefly be summarized in my talk in Varenna Conference in comparing to similar...

28. Neutrinos, wine and fraudulent business practices

The Neutrino Ettore Majorana Observatory (NEMO) experiment, located in the Modane Underground Laboratory, between Italy and France, is looking for the very rare neutrinoless double beta decay. The detector is built out of materials containing no measurable radioactive isotopes such as U, Th, Ra and their progeny. To ensure the best radiopurity for the materials, we had to develop ultra-low...

77. Recent results of n_TOF facility at CERN

Astrophysics is approaching a stage where a number of long-standing central questions about our Universe can finally be addressed within a consistent and quantitative way. The so called Standard Model, based on the General theory of Relativity, the Nuclear and the Particle Physics, describes satisfactorily the hot Big Bang cosmology. The currently observed ratio of neutrons and protons (about...

39. Nuclear astrophysics at Gran Sasso Laboratory: the LUNA400 experiment

Facilities

Nuclear fusion reactions are the heart of nuclear astrophysics: they sensitively influence the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the earliest stages of the universe and in all the objects formed thereafter, and control the associated energy generation, neutrino luminosity, and evolution of stars. LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) is an experimental approach for the study...

37. The Study of the ${}^{22}$Ne($\alpha$,$\gamma$)${}^{26}$Mg at LUNA

Ms Denise Piatti (University of Padova and INFN of Padova)

Facilities

The ${}^{22}$Ne($\alpha$,$\gamma$)${}^{26}$Mg has an important role in nucleosynthesis of massive stars and AGB stars. As a matter of fact it competes with the ${}^{22}$Ne($\alpha$, n)${}^{25}$Mg which is an efficient source of neutrons for s-process. In addition a recent study shows that the production of all isotopes from ${}^{26}$Mg to ${}^{31}$P is affected by the uncertainty of...
