Abstract
I will present results of doing nuclear astrophysics research at the National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering, Bucharest-Magurele in the last 2-3 years.Own Nuclear Astrophysics Group (NAG) is focused on the basic types of experiments:-Direct measurements at low and very low energies with ion or alpha beams from the local 3 MV tandetron accelerator. We concentrate on activation measurements. The use of the ultra-low background laboratory in a salt mine at Slanic-Prahova, about 120 km away and of a beta-gamma coincidence unit at home is providing competitive sensitivity.-Indirect measurements done with beams at international facilities with radioactive beams: TAMU and RIBF RIKEN.With help from colleagues, I will mention some theory advances, too.
Highlights
I will start with thanking, twice, the organizers: for inviting me and for suggesting the title and subject of this talk
The charge was to present the activities in nuclear physics for astrophysics at my home institution, the National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering (NIPNE) in Bucharest-Magurele, known as IFIN-HH from its Romanian name
In particular the loss of manpower, the experimental activities were concentrated in one group, the Nuclear Astrophysics Group (NAG), which at some point had 7 members
Summary
I will start with thanking, twice, the organizers: for inviting me and for suggesting the title and subject of this talk. The charge was to present the activities in nuclear physics for astrophysics at my home institution, the National Institute for Physics and Nuclear Engineering (NIPNE) in Bucharest-Magurele, known as IFIN-HH from its Romanian name. This charge is similar with the one given me two editions ago, and I was glad to oblige. We continued the two main types of nuclear astrophysics experiments: - direct measurements, done at home, using the 3 MV tandetron, mainly using activation techniques. These use low-energy stable beams, an ultra-low background laboratory and a new beta-gamma coincidence setup. In the end I will briefly state the interest in developing theory support tools for our indirect methods and the coupling of nuclear structure theory to nuclear processes that take place in stars
