A panel to ask our CaNPAN experts any curious question about research, scientific writing, careers in this field, the academic community, and more!
Our framework, developed through the Canadian Nuclear Physics for Astrophysics Network (CaNPAN), is crucial for guiding nuclear astrophysics experiments. It has the capacity to identify key nuclear reactions responsible for element synthesis in various astrophysical phenomena. Notably, this framework has identified the 39K(p, 𝛾)40Ca and 38K(p, 𝛾)39Ca reactions as the most impactful for the...
Neutron star mergers are an ideal environment for rapid (r-process) neutron captures to take place that lead to the production of neutron-rich nuclei far from the valley of stability. This is one encouraging site to investigate for where abundances of the heaviest elements in our Solar System and beyond are thought to have come from. We explored the r-process regime in mergers through the...
