In addition to long-lived radioactive nuclei like U and Th isotopes, which have been used to
measure the age of theGalaxy, also radioactive nuclei with half-lives between 0.1 and 100 …

Neutron capture cross sections are one of the most important nuclear inputs to models of
stellar nucleosynthesis of the elements heavier than iron. The activation technique and the …

Nuclear astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which
seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the …

Abstract NeuLAND (New Large-Area Neutron Detector) is the next-generation neutron
detector for the R 3 B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) experiment at FAIR …

The synthesis of nuclei in diverse cosmic scenarios is reviewed, with a summary of the basic
concepts involved before a discussion of the current status in each case is made. We review …

Diffuse γ-ray line emission traces freshly produced radioisotopes in the interstellar gas,
providing a unique perspective on the entire Galactic cycle of matter from nucleosynthesis in …

Short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) with mean lives τ of a few to hundreds of Myr provide
unique opportunities to probe recent nucleosynthesis events in the interstellar medium and …

Massive stars are a major source of chemical elements in the cosmos, ejecting freshly
produced nuclei through winds and core-collapse supernova explosions into the interstellar …

It is a well-observed result that different nuclear input models sensitively affect Hauser-
Feshbach (HF) cross-section calculations. Less well-known, however, are the effects on …

We investigate 60Fe in massive stars and core-collapse supernovae focussing on
uncertainties that influence its production in 15, 20, and 25 M stars at solar metallicity. We …
