  Studying Stellar Nucleosynthesis in the Laboratory: Neutron Reactions in Astrophysics
  The evolution of the universe has left an imprint in the form of the chemical elements. The abundances of elements we see in our solar system, distant stars, meteorites, and in stellar explosions provide us with clues about how the elements came to be produced in a variety of different processes and stellar environments. To unravel these mysteries we need to understand the nuclear reactions producing and destroying the elements. Neutron induced reactions play a key role for the formation of elements heavier than iron. After introducing neutron capture nucleosynthesis, I will talk about recent neutron induced reaction studies and their relevance to our understanding of the origin of the elements.
