Nuclear-astrophysics experiments with relativistic radioactive beams

  • Published:
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento Aims and scope

Summary

Experiments with high-energy radioactive beams for nuclear astrophysics are discussed. Emphasis is paid to measurements of masses of exotic nuclei relevant for nucleosynthesis processes and the determination of dipole strength functions for neutron-rich nuclei relevant for both the r-process nucleosynthesis and neutron-star matter. Finally, an outlook is given on the experimental program planned at the radioactive-beam facility NuSTAR at the accelerator facility for anti-proton and ion research FAIR.
