Nuclear Topics in Astroparticle Physics (30 hours)
(A.Molinari, W. M. Alberico)
- Theory of supernovae
- Entropy of nuclei
- Electronic capture and spin-isospin response in nuclei
- Neutrino trapping
- Equation of state of nuclear matter
- Shock-waves propagation in nuclear matter
- Nucleosynthesis in stars
- Fast processes: interplay between neutron capture and beta decay
- The concept of "waiting nucleus"
- The nuclear mean field outside the beta stability valley
Note: the last point is connected with radioactive beams experiments, which
are treated in the PhD lectures of Prof. Pollarolo (see curriculum
in Nuclear Physics)
