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...

Half of the nuclei heavier than iron were synthetized in the r process. The r-process yield peak at A~195 is linked to the N=126 closed neutron shell. In contrast to lighter mass regions, the r-process waiting point nuclei at N=126 still cannot be studied experimentally, and the yield calculations rely entirely on theoretical nuclear physics properties.

In this presentation, I shall give an overview of neutron-induced cross section measurements at n_TOF, both past and present. A selection of the principal characteristics of the time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN is given together with several examples of measurements of interest to Nuclear Astrophysics.
Finally, I will present some ideas of possible future experiments, including the...
