Workshop on Nuclear Astrophysics at the Dresden Felsenkeller

A new underground ion accelerator facility for nuclear astrophysics is currently under construction in the Felsenkeller area, Dresden. In order to update and discuss the science case for the new facility, and also to update on the state of the art in the field of nuclear astrophysics, a short workshop will be held in Dresden, from 26-28 June 2017. Topics of the workshop are:

• The sun, solar neutrinos, and solar abundances
• Stellar structure and abundances, hydrostatic stellar nucleosynthesis
• Novae, supernovae, X-ray and γ-ray bursts, mergers, explosive nucleosynthesis
• Experimental techniques and facilities

The highlight of the workshop will be the ceremonial opening of the Felsenkeller tunnels in the presence of 2015 Physics Nobel Laureate Arthur B. McDonald, the Saxonian Minister of Science, the Mayor of Dresden, and the Rector of TU Dresden.
