  6. Ideas and goals of this workshop Form stronger ties within the community Form a community Spread knowledge Discuss future funding and collaboration possibilities Research | Rene Reifarth

  7. What can be done for nuclear astrophysicsat small-scale accelerators? p-process s-process Proton number rp-process r-process Fusion up to iron Neutron number • Reaction measurements in stellar energy regimes: • Z-induced (above, below ground) • neutron-induced (activation, TOF) • g-induced (activation, in-beam) Research | Rene Reifarth

  8. What can be done for nuclear astrophysicsat small-scale accelerators? • AMS: left overs of extremely rare isotopes (earth, presolar grains), detection of reaction products (Nassar 2004) (Knie 2004) Research | Rene Reifarth

  9. What can be done for nuclear astrophysicsat small-scale accelerators? 163Dy (Krticka, 2004) • Nuclear properties: half lives, masses • Nuclear structure: level density, nuclear model paramters,... And much, much more – see this workshop Research | Rene Reifarth

  10. Why is research at small accelerators valuable? Comparably low requirements for space, budget, personnel • Flexibility, creativity, diversity • development of techniques (DAQ, detection, beams,…) • validation of techniques (Trojan horse, surrogate, inverse kinematics, coulomb dissociation, time reversal, …) • exotic place (underground,…) • research at Universities • education of young scientists (starting with bachelor) • recruiting for bigger projects Research | Rene Reifarth

  11. Additional financial opportunities for larger communities National: Germany DFG – Schwerpunktprogramm DFG - Forschergruppe Other counties? European: Transnational Access Programs Other programs? International: Virtual Institutes Other ideas? Research | Rene Reifarth

  12. Thank you all for coming ! Research | Rene Reifarth
