Laboratory studies of Nucleosynthesis via Accelerator Mass Spectrometry

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims at laboratory studies of stellar nucleosynthesis applying ultra-sensitive accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements. The project will focus on reactions which are essential to open questions in modelling nucleosynthesis in stars, that is where no data exist at all, or are scarce and discrepant; in particular for neutron- and charged-particle induced reactions relevant to the s-and p-process where an extremely sensitive detection method is required. New data for key nuclear reactions will be connected with theory, for testing and improving theoretical predictions. They will be highly beneficial for modelling the respective nucleosynthesis processes in stars and for our understanding of the elemental abundance of our solar system.
