U.S.-Brazil Collaborative Research: Fusion Reactions and Neutrino Astrophysics

这项美国-巴西奖为威斯康星大学的Akif Baha Balantekin博士与巴西里约热内卢联邦大学的L. Felipe Canto博士在聚变反应和中微子天体物理学方面的合作提供了支持。这个项目是在理论物理领域。重点是在恒星和其他天文环境中发生的低能聚变反应以及中微子天体物理学中的问题。在前者领域，研究将集中在辐射捕获反应和相关的电磁探针上。在后一个领域，研究将集中在太阳和超新星中微子上。这些领域的理论研究选择与美国和巴西正在进行的实验项目密切相关。

This US-Brazil award provides support for Dr. Akif Baha Balantekin, University of Wisconsin, to collaborate with Dr. L. Felipe Canto at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro in Brazil on fusion reactions and neutrino astrophysics.This program is in the area of theoretical physics. The emphasis is on low-energy fusion reactions taking place in stellar and other astronomical environments and problems in neutrino astrophysics. In the former area, the research will concentrate on radiative capture reactions and related electromagnetic probes. In the latter area, the research will focus on solar and supernova neutrinos. Theoretical research in these areas is chosen to have a close coupling with the ongoing experimental programs in the US and Brazil.
