Progress in Nuclear Astrophysics: a multi-disciplinary field with still many open questions
S. Goriely, A. Choplin, W. Ryssens +1
Nuclear astrophysics is a multi-disciplinary field with a huge demand for nuclear data. Among its various fields, stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis are clearly the most closely…
The mass of odd-odd nuclei in microscopic mass models
W. Ryssens, G. Scamps, G. Grams +3
Accurate estimates of the binding energy of nuclei far from stability that cannot be produced in the laboratory are crucial to our understanding of nuclear processes in astrophysic…
First experimental constraint on the Os reaction rate relevant to -process nucleosynthesis
I. K. B. Kullmann, A. C. Larsen, T. Renstrø m +10
The nuclear level density and -decay strength of Os have been extracted using particle- coincidence data from the Os()Os reaction by mean…
Uncertainties in radiative neutron-capture rates relevant to the -process peak
I. K. B. Kullmann, E. W. Hafli, A. C. Larsen +1
The rapid neutron-capture process (-process) has for the first time been confirmed to take place in a neutron-star merger event. A detailed understanding of the rapid neutron-ca…
