Nordic Winter Meeting on Physics @ FAIR

After an introduction to several astrophysical sites, recent experiments will be discussed contributing to the needs for nuclear reaction rates under the respective conditions. The experiments discussed cover a broad range of stellar sites - from p-process to s-process and experimental techniques - from experiments using radioactive samples to measurements with radioactive ion beams.

Many-particle final state reactions can provide information on the structure of excited nuclear states and their decay mechanism. Progress in detector technology is making it possible to measure such many-particle final states in complete kinematics thereby opening up new possibilities for data analysis. Reaction channels indistinguishable to the incomplete measurement can be separated...

Phenomena that are difficult to describe in standard many-body methods as Hartree-Fock or the shell model are regarded as exotic, like clustering of nucleons which leads to molecule like structures, or halos formed by weakly bound nucleons. These special configurations are found as ground states and excited states whenever one is close to the energy of the corresponding breakup...

Within the framework of self-consistent mean-field models employing effective interactions a wide range of structure phenomena can be described, encompassing bulk properties such as masses and radii as well spectroscopy. In the absence of restrictions, such as spherical symmetry or time-reversal invariance within these models, there are additional contributions to the spin-current tensor and...
