We cordially invite you to Wrocław University of Science and Technology Physics Seminar on Monday 26th of May 2025 at 11:15 in room 322, building A-1, where there will be delivered a lecture:
Origin of the elements
Prof. Bert Tobias Fischer
Institute of Theoretical Physics, Wrocław University of Science and Technology
Please find an abstract below.
————————————
Understanding the origin of the elements possess severe challenges to our current view of the universe, in particular those elements heavier than iron, which have long been associated with explosive cosmic events. In my presentation I will revisit the current basic understanding of selected nuclear physics aspects related with the formation of the elements and then will further connect to certain explosive astrophysical phenomena that are currently considered as the potential sites for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements, namely the merger of two neutron stars and massive star explosions.
