Physics

Scientific paper

The inventory of nuclei in the cosmos encodes the history of high-energy processes in the universe. I will overview the ways that nuclear and particle physics tools can decode this history. Particular emphasis will be given to the lightest nuclides, which originate in the big bang and in collisions of relativistic cosmic rays with interstellar matter. I will also review how the heaviest nuclides result from intense blasts of neutrons in astrophysical explosions. As improved theory and astronomical observation sharpen our understanding of this cosmic history of matter, there is an increasing demand for precision nuclear data. Key experimental opportunities will be highlighted.
