Electric-dipole resonances in nuclei, and in particular exotic nuclei, have been linked theoretically to important phenomena on vastly different scales: they facilitate nucleosynthesis processes, especially when they lie close to the particle emission threshold; and through their properties we hope to learn about neutron skins and the nuclear symmetry energy, a key factor in the evolution of...

Heavy ion fusion reactions play important roles in a wide variety of stellar burning scenarios. For example, ${}^{12}$C+${}^{12}$C, ${}^{12}$C+${}^{16}$O and ${}^{16}$O+${}^{16}$O are the principle reactions during the advance burning stages of massive star. ${}^{12}$C+${}^{12}$C also triggers the happening of superburst and Type Ia supernovae. The heavy ion fusion reactions of the...
