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.

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.

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.

To foster multidisciplinary research in the area of explosive transients, Louisiana State University, the DOE’s Los Alamos National Lab and Center for Nuclear Astrophysics Across Messengers, NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos Program, and possibly an additional 3 letter agency, invites the international community to participate in a workshop in Baton Rouge, LA during September 23-26, 2024. 

The Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics XI (NPA-XI) conference brings together scientists working in nuclear astrophysics, including laboratory experiments, theoretical nuclear physics, astronomy, and astrophysics.

NPA-XI is part of a series of conferences taking place every two years, under the auspices of the Nuclear Physics Division of the European Physical Society.

We are organizing a Summer School on "Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics" in connection to the International Conference on Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics XI. It will be held at Burghotel Stolpen, Germany, from September 8 (arrival) to 15 (departure or transit to the conference), 2024.

The origin of Carbon and its role in stellar evolution is one of the most exciting problems in nuclear and stellar astrophysics, and it was recently shown to play a key role in the interpretation of Gravitational wave data from mergers of binary black holes.

The BRIDGCE 2024 annual meeting, at the University of Surrey, couples the themes of nuclear physics and astrophysics to showcase the latest cross-disciplinary across these fields, and exchange knowledge and expertise among BRIDGCE researchers and their collaborators in IReNA and ChETEC. The workshop will give particularly early-career researchers and postdoctoral students an opportunity to present their work and discuss the state-of-the-art of the field with leading UK, US and EU-based collaborators.

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

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. 

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.

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 scientific programme of the BRIDGCE UK Network meeting is designed to address significant questions in galactic chemical evolution and nucleosynthesis. The meeting provides a unique platform for scientists from diverse backgrounds to exchange ideas, share expertise, explore new avenues of research, and is open to all scientists working in these areas.
