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

这个美国-巴西奖项为威斯康星州大学的Akif Baha Balantekin博士提供支持，与L。巴西里约热内卢联邦大学的Felipe Canto教授聚变反应和中微子天体物理学。该项目属于理论物理领域。 重点是发生在恒星和其他天文环境中的低能聚变反应以及中微子天体物理学中的问题。 在前一个领域，研究将集中在辐射捕获反应和相关的电磁探针。 在后一个领域，研究将集中在太阳和超新星中微子。 在这些领域的理论研究选择有一个密切的耦合与正在进行的实验计划在美国和巴西。

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.
