This project investigates the rapid neutron capture process, crucial for understanding the formation of elements heavier than iron. It focuses on measuring the masses of exotic neutron-rich nuclei to refine models of this astrophysical process, particularly in neutron-star mergers.
About half of the elements heavier than iron have been produced via the rapid neutron capture process, the r process.
Its astrophysical site has been one of the biggest outstanding questions in physics.
Neutrino-driven winds from proto-neutron stars created in core-collapse supernovae were long considered as the most favourable site for the r process.
Recently, neutron-star mergers have become the most promising candidates, and new exciting observations from these compact objects, such as gravit…
