LUNA: Present status and future prospects
One of the main ingredients of nuclear astrophysics is the knowledge of the thermonuclear reactions responsible for powering the stellar engine and for the synthesis of the chemical elements.

The Manhattan Project and the Development of Nuclear Astrophysics [PDF]
This paper will provide a historical analysis of the impact of the US Manhattan Project from 1942 to 1945 and the subsequent nuclear test program 1945-1970 towards the development of the field of Nuclear Astrophysics and the interpretation of nuclear ...

Shell Structure of Exotic Nuclei
Theoretical predictions and experimental discoveries for neutron-rich, short-lived nuclei far from stability indicate that the familiar concept of nucleonic shell structure should be considered as less robust than previously thought. The notion of single-

Investigation and reclassification of four mesosiderites—Implications for their formation
Abstract Mesosiderites are rare, differentiated meteorites, so‐called stony‐iron meteorites—they are impact breccias composed of an unusual mix of crustal basalt and pyroxenite, core‐derived metal, but no mantle materials. This odd mixture makes their origin enigmatic and has inspired many different formation theories over the last several decades ...

Nuclear Theory and Science of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams
The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will be a world-leading laboratory for the study of nuclear structure, reactions and astrophysics. Experiments with intense beams of rare isotopes produced at FRIB will guide us toward a comprehensive ...

Petrography of phosphates in CI and CY carbonaceous chondrites
Abstract Phosphate minerals are significant carriers of volatiles (e.g., OH) and halogens in chondritic material; however, their origin in most groups of carbonaceous chondrites remains poorly characterized. We have determined the abundance, morphology, texture, and composition of phosphate grains in aqueously altered CI chondrites and in hydrated and ...

Neutrinos and Nuclear Astrophysics at LUNA
AbstractNuclear astrophysics plays an important role in understanding open issues of neutrino physics. As an example, the two key reactions of the solar p-p chain 3He(3He, 2p)4He and 3He(4He, γ)7Be have been studied at low energy with LUNA, providing an accurate experimental footing for the Standard Solar Model and consequently to study the neutrino ...

Abstract Angrites and eucrites are among the oldest basaltic rocks in the solar system. However, the shock histories of these meteorite groups differ markedly, as most angrites show little to no evidence of shock metamorphism. While some angrites exhibit weak wavy extinction in olivine, indicative of low‐level shock, only two—Northwest Africa (NWA ...

The Influence of Nuclear Reactions and Nuclear Structure in Astrophysics
Nuclear reactions play an important role for the energy production and the nucleosynthesis in stars. New facilities, able to accelerate radioactive nuclei or high-intensity stable beams have allowed us to measure in the laboratory reactions involving ...
