Nuclear astrophysics
Invited talk
Nuclear astrophysics aims at understanding the cosmic origin of the chemical elements and the energy generation in stars. It constitutes a truly multidisciplinary arena that combines tools, developments and achievements in theoretical astrophysics, observational astronomy, cosmochemistry and nuclear physics: supercomputers have provided astrophysicists with the required computational...

Binding energies of neutron-rich nuclei are important for understanding the change of nuclear structure with neutron-to-proton (N/Z) asymmetry. One and two-nucleon separation energies are sensitive to the evolution of energy gaps in the effective single-particle spectrum. In mid-shell regions of intrinsic deformed configurations they are, in turn, key for the interpretation of complementary...
