Nuclei in the Cosmos Symposium

[Astronuc]

I was looking for resources on stellar nucleosynthesis, and I found the following seminar, which has been going on since 1990. The 17th Symposium will be 17-22 Sep, 2023 in Daejeon, South Korea.

Most recently, the International Advisory Committee has chosen NIC-XVII to be hosted in
Daejeon, Korea by the Center for Exotic Nuclear Studies (CENS) and the Rare Isotope
Science Project (RISP) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS). The past NIC symposia have
been held in Chengdu (2021, China), Gran Sasso (2018, Italy), Niigata (2016, Japan),
Debrecen (2014, Hungary), Cairns (2012, Australia), Heidelberg (2010, Germany), Mackinac
Island (2008, USA), Geneva (2006, Switzerland), Vancouver (2004, Canada), Fuji-Yoshida
(2002, Japan), Aarhus (2000, Denmark), Volos (1998, Greece), Notre Dame (1996, USA), Gran
Sasso (1994, Italy), Karlsruhe (1992, Germany), and Baden bei Wien (1990, Austria).

The Joint Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics - Center for the Evolution of the Elements (JINA-CEE) is a NSF Physics Frontiers Center that addresses related fundamental questions about the cosmos:

• Where do the elements come from that make up our world?
• What are basic properties of matter when compressed to high density?

When tracing our origins back to the Big Bang, the transition from a three element (H, He, Li) Universe, to a chemically diverse cosmos of 82 long-lived elements, stands out in significance.
One goal of JINA-CEE is to explore the open questions surrounding this transition, including:

• What are the nuclear reactions and stellar environments producing the isotopes in the first billion years and how can we study these processes in the laboratory?
• What are their individual contributions?
• How do these nuclear and astrophysical processes interact and evolve as the abundance levels increase?

What is the role of nuclei far from stability and how can we investigate them in the laboratory?What are the astrophysical sites, timescales and yields of the elements? What new nuclear physics is needed to explain the abundance patterns of the elements?

What are the effects of these processes on subsequent stellar evolution and galactic nucleosynthesis? What are the sources of the elements beyond iron?
