R-Process Nucleosynthesis: Identifying The Significant Nuclear Properties, Sabina Gaia Tomasicchio
2023 REYES Proceedings
We provide a theoretical overview of r-process nucleosynthesis. We then identify the nuclear properties that have the greatest astrophysical impact according to recent sensitivity studies as: nuclear masses, β decays and neutron capture rates. Finally, we briefly discuss how the NuCRL model can enhance the performance of the relevant simulations.
