Neutron captures produce the vast majority of abundances of elements heavier than iron in
the Universe. Beyond the classical slow (s) and rapid (r) processes, there is observational …

Nucleosynthesis in the s process takes place in the He-burning layers of low-mass
asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and during the He-and C-burning phases of massive …

The mass of the nucleus, through its binding energy, continues to be of capital importance
not only for various aspects of nuclear physics, but also for other branches of physics …

Abstract Forty years ago Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle combined what we would
now call fragmentary evidence from nuclear physics, stellar evolution and the abundances …

Recent experimental data and progress in nuclear structure modeling have led to improved
descriptions of astrophysically important weak-interaction processes. This review discusses …

A century ago, nuclear physics entered astrophysics, giving birth to a new field of science
referred to as “Nuclear Astrophysics”. With time, it developed at an impressive pace into a …

Recent developments in precision mass spectrometry of radioactive isotopes (RI) and some
selected related physics subjects are reviewed. In the last decades, besides conventional …

This paper reviews some of the fundamental properties of highly charged ions, the methods
of producing them (with particular emphasis on table-top devices), and their use as a tool for …

The quest for the origin of matter in the Universe had been the subject of philosophical and
theological debates over the history of mankind, but quantitative answers could be found …
