DESCRIPTION:Speakers: César Domingo Pardo (IFIC (CSIC-University of Valen
 cia))\n\nMost of the chemical elements in the periodic table heavier than 
 iron are produced during the evolution of red-giant stars through nuclear 
 reactions induced by neutrons. Reproducing and accurately measuring these 
 nuclear reactions in the laboratory provide unique insights into the life 
 cycles of stars and the progressive enrichment of our Milky Way galaxy wit
 h heavy elements.\nIn this presentation\, I will summarize some of the mos
 t significant experimental efforts in nucleosynthesis studies conducted at
  the neutron time-of-flight facility CERN n_TOF (Geneva). Specifically\, I
  will highlight how upgrades to the facility over the past 25 years\, comb
 ined with advancements in technology and innovative approaches in detectio
 n systems\, have enabled the exploration of fascinating new aspects of nuc
 leosynthesis in red-giant stars.\nInterestingly\, some of the technologica
 l advancements developed for nucleosynthesis studies have potential applic
 ations in enhancing the accuracy of accelerator-aided hadron-therapy treat
 ments. In particular\, I will briefly discuss the importance of ion-range 
 verification in hadron therapy and how modern instrumentation from these e
 xperiments could contribute to improving its precision and versatility.\n
