The project entails investigations of astrophysical reactions in explosive stellar phenomena, using direct and indirect experimental techniques

经典新星是银河系中发生最频繁、最剧烈的恒星爆炸之一，因此在其化学演化中起着关键作用。最近，天文学和陨石学的显著进步产生了大量关于这些灾难性天文事件的观测数据，使我们对它们的性质有了前所未有的了解。然而，我们对这些最新数据的理解受到潜在核物理过程的巨大不确定性的严重阻碍，这些过程涉及驱动这些恒星场景的不稳定原子核。现代最先进的放射性光束设施提供了解决这一问题的手段，因为它们能够在地面实验室中重现爆炸恒星现象中发生的条件。特别是，现在有可能获得天体物理反应的直接测量，这些反应涉及控制经典新星核合成路径和能量释放速率的不稳定原子核。在这个项目中，影响关键新星观测的天体物理反应将在世界领先的放射性束流设施（如TRIUMF和CERN）进行研究，重点是直接测量。

Classical novae are among the most frequent and violent stellar explosions to occur in our Galaxy, thereby playing a key role in its chemical evolution. Recently, remarkable advances in astronomy and meteoritics have produced a wealth of observational data on these cataclysmic astronomical events, giving us unprecedented insight into their properties. However, our understanding of this latest data is severely hindered by large uncertainties in the underlying nuclear physics processes involving unstable nuclei that drive these stellar scenarios. Modern state-of-the-art radioactive beams facilities provide the means to resolve this issue through their ability to recreate the conditions that occur in explosive stellar phenomena in a terrestrial laboratory. In particular, it is now possible to obtain direct measures of astrophysical reactions involving unstable nuclei that govern both the path of nucleosynthesis and rate of energy release in classical novae. In this project, astrophysical reactions influencing key nova observables will be investigated at world-leading radioactive beam facilities such as TRIUMF and CERN with an emphasis on direct measurements.
