Nuclear physics and r-process nucleosynthesis

NEW! The meeting agenda is available in the Scientific Program link.
We are pleased to invite you to the IoP-sponsored meeting on Nuclear Physics and R-process Nucleosynthesis, which will take place on May 15th at the University of Edinburgh.
The r-process is, in essence, an interdisciplinary question where communication between the involved fields of research plays a key role in targeting the efforts and resources of our communities. This half-day meeting aims to bring together nuclear physicists, astronomers, and astrophysicists studying nucleosynthesis during rapid neutron-capture process. It will provide a venue to learn about exciting developments in the field, such as the observation of new elemental abundances in metal poor stars, r-process models that include increasingly sophisticated treatment of the dynamical evolution of the astrophysical environment, and opportunities for experiments with r-process isotopes created by a new generation of radioactive ion beam laboratories and new equipment (e.g. the AIDA detector for beta-decays developed in the UK). It will be a chance to discuss future lines of research, and ways to coordinate the efforts of our communities across disciplinary lines.
All members of the UK and the international community are welcome to participate, and those interested in presenting a talk can submit a brief abstract through the registration form. The workshop will act as a satellite meeting to the Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics VII conference, taking place in York on May 18th to 22nd: NPA VII (registration to NPA is not required to attend this meeting).
Registration deadline is May 5th.
