Nuclear Astrophysics at GSI
The main focus of Nuclear Astrophysics is to understand the fundamental nuclear processes inside stars, which are responsible for the energy production, the synthesis of elements, and for stellar evolution in general. The underlying nuclear physics is also of key importance for the interpretation of the spectacular observations by sophisticated ground- or satellite-based telescopes, which search the sky in all wavelength bands.
This page gives an overview of the versatile activities and experiments at GSI and puts them into context with the corresponding topics in Nuclear Astrophysics.
