The astrophysical rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis process ($r$-process) remains an active area of research due to the fact that it occurs in extreme conditions and involves reactions with exotic nuclei that are difficult to study experimentally. For the first time using the Phase-Imaging Ion Cyclotron Resonance (PI-ICR) technique, we measured the mass excesses of $^{130}$Te, $^{130}$Sn,...

The light tin isotopes are interesting owing to the vicinity of the doubly-magic $^{100}$Sn, which is the heaviest alpha-conjugate nucleus and has a cluster structure at its low-density surface [1]. The single-particle states outside of this unique core are important for predicting and understanding the structure of nuclei in the region. The ordering of the lowest single-particle states, which...

This presentation summarizes recent research activities of the Nuclear Astrophysics Group at CENS, with particular emphasis on direct reaction studies relevant to explosive nucleosynthesis and the origin of the elements. Topics include selected direct and indirect studies of astrophysically important reactions, associated detector developments, and international collaborative experiments at...
