The 2024 AZURE2 R-Matrix Summer School will be held at the University of Edinburgh from the 23rd to the 28th June 2024.

Please find below some important information regarding the school:

The first IANNA-IReNA workshop on new reaction rates for Nuclear Astrophysics is being organized as a collaboration between IANNA (Ibero American Network of Nuclear Astrophysics) and IReNA (International Research Network for Nuclear Astrophysics), with main co-sponsorship from IReNA.

Hosted by the University of Notre Dame

The 2024 CeNAM Frontiers in Nuclear Astrophysics Meeting continues the series of former JINA and JINA-CEE Frontiers meetings with the goal to bring together the participants, collaborators, and other interested researchers in nuclear physics, astronomy, astrophysics, and other relevant fields to discuss progress and future directions in the understanding of the origin of the elements and the physics of neutron stars in the multi-messenger era. 

*Please note that this seminar will take place at 10am Eastern Time

Hosted by Melissa Mendes Silva (TU Darmstadt)

Hosted by: Rob Yates (University of Surrey)

The 19th 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 03 (arrival and registration) to March 09 (departure) 2024.

Hosted by: Denise Piatti (University of Padova)

The slow neutron capture process (s-process) is one of the main mechanisms for the production of heavy elements in stars. In the recent years great effort was devoted on improving our knowledge on the nuclear reactions primarily responsible for s-process, i.e.13C(a,n)16O and 22Ne(a,n)25Mg.

The LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) experiment is located at the LNGS (Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso) in Italy. LUNA is aimed at studying the nuclear reactions that are responsible for the synthesis of the elements and shape the life of stars in the universe. The reduction of the cosmic-rays induced background provided by the 1400 m thick rock overburden at LNGS allows the direct measurement of the cross section in the energy range relevant to astrophysics.

The groundwork for stellar nucleosynthesis was established over 70 years ago, marking the beginning of a fascinating journey. Since then, substantial progress has unfolded on both theoretical and observational fronts. On the theoretical side, intricate models of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis have evolved, utilising increasingly precise nuclear data. Simultaneously, the observational realm has witnessed a significant rise in the number of stars analysed.
