Horizons: nuclear astrophysics in the 2020s and beyond
Abstract 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. This white paper summarizes progress and status of the field, the new open questions that have emerged, and the tremendous ...

SECAR: A recoil separator for nuclear astrophysics [PDF]
Proton-and alpha-capture reactions on unstable proton-rich nuclei power astrophysical explosions like novae and X-ray bursts. Direct measurements of these reactions are crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind these explosions and the ...

Nuclear Astrophysics at Bose Institute [PDF]
In this review, I give a brief introduction to Bose Institute and describe the research work pursued in nuclear astrophysics. The experiments are carried out at ISOLDE, CERN while Monte Carlo simulations and data analysis are done at Bose Institute.

Nuclear Astrophysics at the Low-Energy Frontiers: Updates from underground laboratories [PDF]
Nuclear fusion reactions are the heart of nuclear astrophysics: they sensitively influence the nucleosynthesis of the elements in the earliest stages of the Universe and in all the objects formed thereafter; control the associated energy generation and ...

Experimental nuclear astrophysics in Italy
Nuclear astrophysics, the union of nuclear physics and astronomy, went through an impressive expansion during the last twenty years. This could be achieved thanks to milestone improvements in astronomical observations, cross section measurements, powerful computer simulations and much refined stellar models.

Reconciling nuclear and astrophysical constraints [PDF]
In view of new constraints put forth by recent observations and measurements in the realm of astrophysics and nuclear physics, we update the non-linear realization of the sigma model as to reflect such constraints. By doing this, we obtain new equations of state that may be used to describe neutron stars.

It is generally considered that an atomic nucleus is always compact. Based on the isospin-dependent Boltzmann nuclear transport model, here I show that large block nuclear matter or excited nuclear matter may both be hollow. And the size of inner bubble in these matter is affected by the charge number of nuclear matter.
