Underground laboratory JUNA shedding light on stellar nucleosynthesis

Abstract

Extremely low background experiments to measure key nuclear reaction cross sections of astrophysical interest are conducted at the world's deepest underground laboratory, the Jingping Underground laboratory for Nuclear Astrophysics (JUNA). High precision measurements provide reliable information to understand nucleosynthetic processes in celestial objects and resolve mysteries on the origin of atomic nuclei discovered in the first generations of Pop. III stars in the universe and meteoritic SiC grains in the solar system.
