This project explores the formation of heavy elements in the universe, particularly through neutron-star mergers. By combining experimental data with astrophysical simulations, it aims to enhance our understanding of nucleosynthesis and the role of these events in the galaxy's chemical evolution.
The lightest chemical elements –Hydrogen and Helium– were created about a minute after the Big Bang.
Elements up to Iron are forged by fusion reactions in stars.
Heavy elements between Iron and Uranium are produced by a sequence of neutron captures and beta-decays known as rapid neutron capture or r process.
The freshly synthesized r-process elements undergo radioactive decay through various channels depositing energy in the ejecta that powers an optical/infrared transient called “kilonova” whos…
