Data
The Underground-NAG is a working group coordinated by JINA-CEE. This group will study the potential for making important measurements for nuclear astrophysics "located in the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory" that require a small particle accelerator and very low backgrounds. The measurements made will be applied to the understanding of nuclear reactions and other processes in stars.
The CASPAR pilot facility at Sanford Underground Research Facility is now operational, and it will soon provide its first data on astrophysical reactions.
