The present status of fusion reactions involving light (A< 20) radioactive projectiles at
energies around the Coulomb barrier (E< 10 MeV per nucleon) is reviewed, emphasizing …

Now 50 years since the existence of the neutron star crust was proposed, we review the
current understanding of the nuclear physics of the outer layers of accreting neutron stars …

We explore properties of core-collapse supernova progenitors with respect to the composite
uncertainties in the thermonuclear reaction rates by coupling the probability density …

Weakly bound nuclear systems can be considered to represent a good testing-ground of our
understanding of non-perturbative quantum systems. Reactions leading to bound and …

X-ray observations of transiently accreting neutron stars during quiescence provide
information about the structure of neutron star crusts and the properties of dense matter …

A detection technique for high-efficiency measurements of fusion reactions with low-intensity
radioactive beams was developed. The technique is based on a Multi-Sampling Ionization …

The observation of X-rays during quiescence from transiently accreting neutron stars
provides unique clues about the nature of dense matter. This, however, requires extensive …

Measuring the fusion excitation function for an isotopic chain of projectile nuclei provides a
stringent test of a microscopic description of fusion. We report the first measurement of the …

Background: Measurement of the energy dependence of the fusion cross section at sub-
barrier energies provides an important test for theoretical models of fusion. Purpose: The …

The total fusion cross section for the F 17+ C 12 system at incident energies near the top of
the Coulomb barrier was studied using the newly developed Encore active-target detector at …
