Breakup of loosely bound nuclei as indirect method in nuclear astrophysics: 8B, 9C, 23Al [PDF]
We discuss the use of one-nucleon breakup reactions of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics. These are peripheral processes, therefore we can extract asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANC) from ...

Nuclear astrophysics and underground accelerators
AbstractAccurate knowledge of thermonuclear reaction rates is a key issue in nuclear astrophysics since it is important for understanding the energy generation, neutrino production and the synthesis of the elements in stars. Cross-section measurements are mainly hampered by the very low counting rate and cosmic background.

Nuclear astrophysics with neutrons [PDF]
Neutrons play a crucial role in astrophysics during the heavy element nucleosynthesis. The largest fraction of isotopes heavier than iron is produced by neutron capture processes on short (r process) and long timescales (s process). During the ``slow neutron capture process'' (s process) heavier elements are produced by successive captures of in-situ ...

Underground nuclear astrophysics studies with CASPAR
The drive of low-energy nuclear astrophysics laboratories is to study the reactions of importance to stellar burning processes and elemental production through stellar nucleosynthesis, over the energy range of astrophysical interest.

Horizons: nuclear astrophysics in the 2020s and beyond [PDF]
Nuclear astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the chemical elements.

pynucastro: A Python Library for Nuclear Astrophysics [PDF]
We describe pynucastro 2.0, an open-source library for interactively creating and exploring astrophysical nuclear reaction networks. We demonstrate new methods for approximating rates and use detailed balance to create reverse rates, show how to build ...

Development of a jet gas target system for the Felsenkeller underground accelerator [PDF]
For direct cross section measurements in nuclear astrophysics, in addition to suitable ion beams and detectors, also highly pure and stable targets are needed.

Transfer Reactions As a Tool in Nuclear Astrophysics [PDF]
Nuclear reaction rates are one of the most important ingredients in describing how stars evolve. The study of the nuclear reactions involved in different astrophysical sites is thus mandatory to address most questions in nuclear astrophysics.

A New Mass Model for Nuclear Astrophysics: Crossing 200 keV Accuracy [PDF]
By using a machine learning algorithm, we present an improved nuclear mass table with a root mean square deviation of less than 200 keV. The model is equipped with statistical error bars in order to compare with available experimental data.

An updated nuclear-physics and multi-messenger astrophysics framework for binary neutron star mergers [PDF]
The multi-messenger detection of the gravitational-wave signal GW170817, the corresponding kilonova AT2017gfo and the short gamma-ray burst GRB170817A, as well as the observed afterglow has delivered a scientific breakthrough.
