International Symposium on Nuclei in the Cosmos XVIII (NIC XVIII) (Opens in a new window)

Girona, Spain

Workshops & Conferences

Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC) is a biennial series of Nuclear Astrophysics conferences. These interdisciplinary events gather together several hundred nuclear physicists, astrophysicists and cosmochemists, to review, share, and discuss recent advances (and challenges) in this field, covering broad areas, from the origin of the elements to the nuclear processes that power stars and their evolution. As such, it has become the most important international meeting in Nuclear Astrophysics.

BRIDGCE Explosive Nucleosynthesis Summer School (Opens in a new window)

York, UK

Workshops & Conferences

The BRIDGCE Explosive Nucleosynthesis Summer School will be held from Monday the 2nd of June to Tuesday the 3rd of June 2025 at the University of York. The school will introduce astrophysical transients and our current understanding of their nucleosynthesis through modelling, observations, and experimentation. With invited lecturers from within the BRIDGCE network and its collaborators, the school will focus on providing hands-on experience and creating opportunity for open discussions so that participants get the most from the experience.

Nuclear reactions for Astrophysics and the opportunity of indirect methods featuring Marco La Cognata (INFN LNS, Italy) (Opens in a new window)

Online

Seminars

Hosted by: Jakub Skowronski (University of Padua, Italy)

Abstract: Nuclear reactions among charged particles in stars take place at energies generally well below the Coulomb barrier, so the Coulomb barrier penetration factor exponentially suppresses the cross sections down to values as small as few nanobarns or picobarns. Therefore, approaching astrophysical energies opens new challenges and calls for new approaches.

Nucleosynthesis Uncertainties Workshop (Opens in a new window)

Seattle, WA, USA

Workshops & Conferences

The goal of this meeting is to discuss the uncertainties in calculating nuclear yields and the work needed to tie astrophysics observations to nuclear physics.  This 2-week meeting will both identify these uncertainties, fleshing out the details, driving further collaborations.  Topics include:

-nuclear cross-sections (including both theory, experiment)

-astrophysical trajectories (temperature, density, composition evolution with time)

-coupling nuclear to hydrodyanmics and thermodynamics

-nuclear networks

-astrophysical observations

Direct measurements of neutron reactions on radionuclides - DIMER Workshop (Opens in a new window)

Santa Fe, NM, USA

Workshops & Conferences

Depending on the reaction channel, direct determinations of neutron-induced reaction cross sections on stable and unstable isotopes for energies above 1 keV cross face different challenges. Neutron captures, neutron-induced fissions, charged-particle production reactions, elastic and inelastic scatterings are important and of interest for astrophysics and nuclear applications.

IReNA-INT Joint Workshop on Thermal and Magnetic Evolution of Neutron Stars (Opens in a new window)

Seattle, WA, USA

Workshops & Conferences

The interiors of neutron stars are inaccessible to direct observation. Measurements of gross properties- mass and radius- can help us constrain properties such as the dense matter equation of state, but provide little insight into properties such as composition, transport and magnetic fields. The electromagnetic emission from neutron star surfaces, magnetospheres and accretion disks is the primary way we are able to infer interior properties of neutron stars. This emission critically depends on the thermal and magnetic evolution of neutron stars.
