  1. 66. Ab initio nuclear theory with uncertainty quantification
    Christian Forssén (Chalmers University of Technology)

    Invited

    Predictive power requires the ability to quantify theoretical uncertainties. While it is true that theoretical error estimates are difficult to obtain, the pursuit thereof plays a pivotal role in science. Reliable theoretical errors can help to determine to what extent a disagreement between experiment and theory hints at new physics, and they can provide input to identify the most relevant...

  2. 20. Exotic decay modes studied with the Optical TPC
    Dr Chiara Mazzocchi

    Submitted

    Over the last decade, the optical-readout time projection chamber developed in Warsaw has been applied to study a variety of rare and very exotic decay channels with emission of charged particles. The device, originally developed for studying two-proton radioactivity, turned out to be extremely well suited for studying delayed (multi) proton emission, in particular when low-energy protons are...

  3. 19. Total Absorption Spectroscopy of N=Z nuclei at ISOLDE: weak-decay rates in the rp-process
    Dr Enrique Nacher (IFIC - CSIC, Valencia)

    Submitted

    Type I X-ray bursts (XRB) are generally suggested as possible sites for the rp-process. These explosive events take place in binary systems in which a neutron star accretes hydrogen-rich material from a low-mass companion star. When the temperature and density in the accreted envelope become high enough to allow for a breakout from the hot CNO cycle, nucleosynthesis eventually proceeds near...

  4. 27. The 59Cu(p,α) cross section and heavy element nucleosynthesis in core collapse supernovae
    Ruchi Garg (The University of Edinburgh (GB))
    05/12/2018, 12:25
    Submitted

    The heavy element nucleosynthesis is the area of research looking to predict and/or explain the observed abundances of nuclei heavier than iron. The proton rich nuclei are thought to be produced in the in hot environments such as supernovae via proton capture and the photodisintegration processes. But the observed abundances of lighter p-nuclei $^{92,94}$Mo and $^{96,98}$Ru are not reproduced...
