D01.00001: Nucleosynthesis of nuclei heavier than iron and the role of the β-delayed neutron emission in the final element abundance. Experimental determination of neutron emission probabilities of exotic neutron-rich nuclei. Invited Speaker: Roger Caballero Folch The main synthesis mechanisms of elements beyond iron is through the known neutron capture processes: slow (s) and rapid (r) neutron capture processes. They occur in different regions of the nuclear chart and they play a key role in the observed element abundances. In order to understand the nuclear physics involved, especially the case of the r-process, experimental properties of nuclei like β-decay half-lives, and β-delayed neutron emission probabilities (Pxn) need to be determined. These magnitudes are of interest for nuclear structure, astrophysics, and also for industrial and medical applications. |
