Three Puzzles from Nuclear Astrophysics
arXiv:1210.1320 · doi:10.1088/1742-6596/403/1/012031
Abstract
I discuss three open problems in astrophysics where nuclear physics can make important contributions: the solar abundance problem, dark matter particle detection, and the origin of the r-process elements.
