Astromers in the Radioactive Decay of r-process Nuclei

Measurements of r - process nuclei

Progress in the astrophysical understanding of r-process nucleosynthesis also depends on the knowledge of nuclear-physics quantities of extremely neutron-rich isotopes. In this context, experiments at CERN-ISOLDE have played a pioneering role in exploring new shell-structure far from stability. Possible implications of new nuclear-data input on the reproduction of r-abundance observations are p...
