E04.00001: NSCL to FRIB: Building 50 Years of Nuclear Science to Explore the Edges of Nuclear Stability Invited Speaker: Brad Sherrill The talk will review the scientific program of the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, NSCL, with a focus on research with rare isotopes. In the process of conducting experiments with nearly 1,000 rare isotope beams, over 30 years, new insights into the nuclear force and how to model atomic nuclei have advanced our understanding of nuclear structure and the role of nuclei in the universe. One of the advances has been in how to predict the limits of atomic nuclei in mass and charge. The talk will discuss these aspects and the perspectives for further advances with the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, FRIB. FRIB will begin scientific operation in 2022, culminating a dream of the science community to have access to a broader range of the most exotic atoms. [Preview Abstract] |

E04.00002: Stellar Dissection: The role of low-energy nuclear physics in understanding the cosmos Invited Speaker: Stephanie Lyons Not your typical high school biology dissection! In this talk, I will discuss how low-energy nuclear physics is used to “dissect” stars and understand what makes them burn. From our own Sun to explosive stellar environments like neutron-star mergers, I will discuss experimental efforts being used to unravel the mysteries of these colossal cauldrons of the universe.
