In 2010 the most important conference in Nuclear Astrophysics (Nuclei in the Cosmos, NIC-XI) will take place in Heidelberg, Germany. It is hosted and organized by research groups from the Universities and Research Centers in the Rhine/Main/Neckar region, the upper Rhine valley and the Munich Excellence Center Universe (i.e. including the Universities of Mainz, Giessen, Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Heidelberg, Basel and Munich plus the Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies FIAS, GSI Darmstadt, and the Max Planck Institutes for Chemistry, Nuclear Physics and Astrophsics in Mainz, Heidelberg and Garching).
This satellite workshop focuses on topics with direct relations to the main activities of the ExtreMe Matter Institute EMMI.
Presently the origin of r-process nuclei is not understood. The abundance evolution is linked to the understanding of exotic nuclei, the site (determining the environmental conditions, like density, temperature, entropy, neutrino luminosities and the resulting global neutron/proton ratio) is related to the properties of neutron stars. Thus, the two major uncertainties for understanding the r-process are addressed by research activities at GSI/FAIR and are of interest for EMMI. The workshop intends to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians working on topics in nuclear structure, compressed baryonic matter, neutrino physics and astrophysics as well as observational astronomy in a truly interdisciplinary way.
Summary of workshop topics:
- r-process scenarios
- exotic nuclei: their properties and reactions
- neutron stars: formation, equation of state, evolution
- neutron star mergers
- observations of r-abundances in low metallicity stars.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
