Nuclei in the Cosmos (NIC) is the most important international meeting in the field of nuclear astrophysics. It brings together nuclear experimentalists, nuclear theorists, astronomers, theoretical astrophysicists, cosmo-chemists, and others interested in the scientific questions at the interface of nuclear physics and astrophysics. These questions concern, for example, the origin of the elements in the cosmos and the nuclear reactions that occur in the Big Bang, in stars, and in stellar explosions.
The deadline for NIC 2023 abstract submission has been extended to Wednesday, May 31.
Discussion Topics
- Nuclear reaction rates and stellar abundances
- The s-process
- Nuclear properties for astrophysics
- High-density matter
- Novae and X-ray bursts
- Type Ia supernova and the p-process
- Core-collapse supernovae, mergers and the r-process
- Underground nuclear astrophysics
- The early universe
- Galactic evolution
- Radioactivity and meteorites
- Stellar modelling
- Others (new facilities, instruments, tools, etc)
The school for NIC XVII for graduate students and young postdocs will be held at the Institute for Basic Science, Sep. 11-15. The school will provide lectures on basics and the current subjects in nuclear astrophysics, from theories to experiments and observations.
