23. New progress on microscopic nuclear inputs for astrophysics applications

Mr Stephane Goriely (Université Libre de Bruxelles)

5/23/18, 11:10 AM

Oral presentation

One of the major issues in modern astrophysics concerns the analysis and understanding of the present composition of the Universe and its various constituting
objects. Nucleosynthesis models aim to explain the origin of the different nuclei observed in nature by identifying the possible processes able to synthesize them. Though the origin of most of the nuclides lighter than iron through the...

43. Experimental photonuclear cross sections

Frida Furmyr (Department of Physics, University of Oslo)

5/23/18, 11:30 AM

Oral presentation

Photonuclear cross sections are important to both practical applications and astrophysics in addition to being interesting in their own right from a nuclear structure point of view. Despite this, existing data taken at different laboratories are discrepant and some important cross sections have not been studied at all or are considered unreliable. The Phoenix Collaboration aims at providing...

53. iThemba LABS – opportunities in nuclear science and applications

Dr Mathis Wiedeking (iThemba LABS)

5/23/18, 11:50 AM

Oral presentation

Over the last 7 years researchers from the University of Oslo and iThemba LABS have continued to increase collaboration to advance scientific knowledge and student education through cooperation in nuclear physics research. The institutes have effectively utilized the experimental facilities and associated equipment on both sides and have co-ordinated research efforts in experimental nuclear...

38. Optical spectroscopy for nuclear and atomic science at JYFL

Prof. Iain Moore (University of Jyväskylä)

5/23/18, 12:10 PM

Oral presentation

High-resolution optical measurements of the atomic level structure readily yield fundamental and model-independent data on nuclear ground and isomeric states, namely changes in the size and shape of the nucleus, as well as the nuclear spin and electromagnetic moments [1]. Laser spectroscopy combined with on-line isotope separators and novel ion manipulation techniques provides the only...
