IBS has recently constructed a new underground laboratory, Yemilab, in Korea. It is 1000 meters underground and spacious with more than 3000 m^2 experimental area. The Center for Underground Physics has developed programs for weakly interacting dark matter searches with scintillators and low-temperature detectors. We also have plans to search the rare nuclear decays, such as neutrinoless...
There is a distinguished history of nuclear astrophysics research at the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Lab (NSL). This has been fostered by University investment and strong support from the National Science Foundation. The NSL provides the research base for some 20 Notre Dame faculty members and approximately 35 graduate students as well as supporting the research programs of a number of...
Astrophysical reactions involving radioactive isotopes (RI) often play an important role
in explosive stellar environments. Although the RI are seldom seen on the earth due to
the finite lifetime, they do exist in stars, and contribute to the evolution and thermal
dynamics of stellar objects. Experimental efforts have been made for the studies on such
RI-involving reactions.
CRIB (CNS...
The Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) is home to one of the only functioning magnetic Enge split-pole spectrographs in North America. The spectrograph was recommissioned in 2017 and has been used to perform a suite of experiments aimed at constraining nucleosynthesis in stars. An overview will be presented of the successful experiments and results that have been performed at the...
Several ($\alpha,p$) reactions on proton-rich nuclei are among the most important nuclear reactions occurring during Type I X-ray bursts. However, large uncertainties remain in these reaction rates due to the lack of direct measurements. The Array for Nuclear Astrophysics and Structure with Exotic Nuclei (ANASEN) is a gas target and charged particle detector designed for studying ($\alpha,p$)...
The construction of the RAON (Rare Isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiments) facility was launched in 2011 as the Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP). The RAON was designed to produce a variety of stable and rare isotope beams to be used for basic science research and applications. The RAON consists of a heavy ion superconducting linear accelerator (SCL2) as the driver for the...
