7. 6.2.2012Research | Rene Reifarth7 Neutron number Proton number Fusion up to iron r-process rp-process s-process p-process What can be done for nuclear astrophysics at small-scale accelerators? Reaction measurements in stellar energy regimes: Z-induced (above, below ground) neutron-induced (activation, TOF)  -induced (activation, in-beam)

8. 6.2.2012Research | Rene Reifarth8 What can be done for nuclear astrophysics at small-scale accelerators? AMS: left overs of extremely rare isotopes (earth, presolar grains), detection of reaction products (Knie 2004) (Nassar 2004)

9. 6.2.2012Research | Rene Reifarth9 What can be done for nuclear astrophysics at small-scale accelerators? Nuclear properties: half lives, masses Nuclear structure: level density, nuclear model paramters,... 163 Dy (Krticka, 2004) And much, much more – see this workshop

10. 6.2.2012Research | Rene Reifarth10 Why is research at small accelerators valuable? Comparably low requirements for space, budget, personnel Flexibility, creativity, diversity development of techniques (DAQ, detection, beams,…) validation of techniques (Trojan horse, surrogate, inverse kinematics, coulomb dissociation, time reversal, …) exotic place (underground,…) research at Universities education of young scientists (starting with bachelor) recruiting for bigger projects

11. 6.2.2012Research | Rene Reifarth11 Additional financial opportunities for larger communities National: Germany DFG – Schwerpunktprogramm DFG - Forschergruppe Other counties? European: Transnational Access Programs Other programs? International: Virtual Institutes Other ideas?
