Nucleosynthesis and its implications on nuclear and particle physics

Book ·
OSTI ID:6988962

Nuclear astrophysics explains the formation of the chemical element and the evolution of the composition of observable matter. This topic is obviously related to various aspects of nuclear physics (nuclear cross-sections, nuclear excited states, masses and life times). It is also very closely linked to many aspects of particle physics: Big Bang theories, nature of the dark matter of the Universe, existence of quarked nuclei, etc. All theses aspects are presented and discussed in this book, which assembles the most recent discoveries and progresses in the field. It is the proceedings of the NATO Workshop on Nycleosynthesis, held in March 1985 in Les Arcs, France.
