Collaborative Research of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics

圣母大学和密歇根州立大学的核天体物理和天文学小组为开发和促进大规模的实验和理论核天体物理项目而结成了合作伙伴关系。支持由此产生的核天体物理联合研究所(JINA)的赠款将为访客计划提供资金。访客计划将由密歇根州立大学管理，将允许来自天体物理模型社区的研究人员进行多次短期(一到两周)和几次长期(一到两个月)的访问。该计划的目标将是确定可以用现有实验设施测量的关键核反应速率。特别是，将强调与最近的丰度观测有关的速率，这些速率现在可以通过大口径和基于空间的观测站来实现。

0072636SherrillThe nuclear astrophysics and astronomy groups at Notre Dame University and Michigan State University have formed a collaboration for developing and promoting a wide scale experimental and theoretical nuclear astrophysics program. The Grant to support the resulting Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics, JINA, will provide funds for a visitors program. The visitors program will be administered by Michigan State University and will allow a number of short term (one to two week) and a few long term (one to two month) visits from researchers from the astrophysical model community. The goal of the program will be to identify key nuclear reaction rates that can be measured with current experimental facilities. In particular, rates that relate to recent abundance observations now possible with large aperture and spaced based observatories will be emphasized.
