Description
From n_TOF and ISOLDE up to the LHC experiments, a remarkable common denominator of all CERN physics programmes is their interplay with central questions in astrophysics and cosmology. This edition of NPA-X will highlight novel opportunities in precision nucleosynthesis, neutron star physics, cosmic ray physics and chemical stellar evolution that arise from combining the latest observations of astrophysical sources and messengers with lab-based precision measurements at n_TOF, ISOLDE and other nuclear physics laboratories. My opening talk will complement this focus of your conference with a broader overview of the cross-talk between space-based and lab-based science enabled at CERN.
