New tools in nuclear astrophysics toolbox enable novel alpha-n studies for DRAGON and EMMA |
06 February 2024 |
In the fascinating realm of nuclear physics, two sister facilities, DRAGON (ISAC-I) and EMMA (ISAC-II), have been making strides in advancing our understanding of nuclear reactions and their astrophysical implications, including how and at what rate elements are formed within different life stages of stars, including their deaths in powerful explosions. |
