Nuclear Detective Work in the Early Universe: The Mysterious Origin of Protein-Rich Stable Nuclei
Andrew Ratkiewicz | 22-LW-029
Executive Summary
We will determine if the neutrino-p astrophysical process can create proton-rich stable nuclei by extending a Laboratory-pioneered nuclear-reaction measurement approach to a new class of reactions. If successful, we will enable measurements of interest to stockpile stewardship and nuclear astrophysics.
