Prof. Rebecca Surman (University of Notre Dame)20/06/2017, 17:10Invited talkThe key role played by nuclear masses in rapid neutron capture, or r-process, nucleosynthesis has long been recognized. Masses set the reaction flow path for an r-process in equilibrium and influence the neutron capture rates, beta decay rates, and fission properties that determine the final abundances. Here we describe modern efforts to quantify the uncertainties in r-process abundance...Go to contribution page

Gabor Kiss (RIKEN Nishina Center)20/06/2017, 17:40Explosive scenarios in astrophysics: observations, theory, and experimentsInvited talkAbout 50% of the isotopes heavier than iron are synthesized in the so-called astrophysical r-process [1]. During the explosion of a type II supernovae or a Neutron star merger exotic isotopes, closed to the drip line are formed via rapid neutron capture reactions [2]. These, very neutron-rich nuclei emit neutrons after the beta-decay when the decay Q-value is larger than the neutron separation...Go to contribution page

Giuseppe Verde (CT)20/06/2017, 18:30Neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matterOralHeavy-ion collisions provide unique access to nuclear structure properties away from saturation density and at finite temperatures. Such structure properties are determined by the equation of state (EoS) and the symmetry energy of nuclear matter that can in turn be studied under laboratory controlled conditions. Such conditions are encountered in neutron stars and in core collapse supernovae...Go to contribution page

Dr Dan Cozma (IFIN-HH)20/06/2017, 18:50Neutron stars and the equation of state of dense matterOralUsing a quantum molecular dynamics type transport model coupled to a phase-space coalescence algorithm to determine final spectra of intermediate energy heavy-ion collisions it has been shown that the elliptic flow ratios of neutrons-to-protons and neutrons-to-hydrogen probe, on average, different density regimes of the compressed nuclear matter created in such reactions [1]. This fact is used...Go to contribution page
