Experimental Astrophysics
The research group Experimental Astrophysics resides at the
Institute for Applied Physics
at the
Department of Physics (FB 13)
of the
Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.
Experiments in nuclear astrophysics are the research focus of the group, in particular
the puzzle of the origin of the elements. Most elements were and still are produced
during the different stages of stellar evolution. A detailed understanding of the
nucleosynthesis processes allows deep insights into the stellar interiors, which are
not possible otherwise. One of the requirements is the quantitative knowledge of a
number of nuclear reactions under stellar conditions.
Current projects are the development and comissioning of the
Frankfurt Neutron Source -
FRANZ - at the
Goethe University Frankfurt
and development projects within the
R3B collaboration at the
GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH.
Further information can be found on the various exp-astro pages.
