The 20th Russbach School on Nuclear Astrophysics will take place in the village of Rußbach am Paß Gschütt, southeast of Salzburg, Austria. The school dates will be from March 16 (arrival and registration) to March 22 (departure) 2025.

Hosted by: Avrajit Bandyopadhyay (University of Florida)

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)

This 61st edition of the Karpacz Winter School of Theoretical Physics is jointly organised by the Institute of Theoretical Physics and by the Institute of Astronomy, both of the University of Wroclaw (Poland), the Helmholtz-Centre Dresden-Rossendorf (Germany), the  Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Uppsala (Sweden) and the

The workshop aims to examine current state and recent advances in nuclear astrophysics and identify crucial reactions that require assessment of information relevant to the field using stable and Radioactive Ion Beam (RIB) facilities. The workshop will bring together experimentalists and theoreticians studying nuclear reactions, along with physicists engaged in stellar and stellar-explosion modeling as well as in astronomical observations and cosmochemistry.

The primary focus of this workshop is on the various “evolutions” of neutron stars, exploring the intersection of astrophysics theory and observation, as well as the connections to fundamental microphysics, including nuclear physics.

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.

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.

In the context of our annual NuGrid collaboration meeting, we are hosting a half-day event with nuclear astrophysics talks, experimental and theoretical, open to the wider community. Our goal is to showcase recent results from the NuGrid collaboration and establish further connections and collaborations with interested groups.

This week's seminar has been canceled.

Beyond iron, a number of rare, neutron-deficient, stable isotopes, is made of proton-rich isotopes, the p-nuclei. They constitute a small fraction in mass of the heavy nuclear species, but a clear understanding of their production still remains a fundamental challenge for nuclear astrophysics.
