Round Table "LUNA-MV at LNGS"

10 Feb 2011, 09:00 → 11 Feb 2011, 14:00 Europe/Rome

Sala Majorana (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso)

Alba Formicola (LNGS), Alessandra (chair) Guglielmetti (MI), Alessandra (secretary) Giusti (LNGS), Matthias Junker (LNGS)

Since 20 years the LUNA Collaboration has been performing direct measurements of cross sections of the Hydrogen burning in the underground laboratories of Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). Based on the success of this research activities, the collaboration is now ready for a new challenge: a MV machine to reach He burning and reactions producing the neutron sources for the s-process. This round table aims to present the status of the project and plans for the future. After a presentation of the project status, a discussion on the forthcoming works and possible task sharing among interested groups will follow.
