Speaker: Andrew Lanzrath (MIT) Title: Probing light-ion nuclear reactions relevant to astrophysics in high-energy-density plasmas Abstract: High-quality nuclear data is needed to inform models of big bang and stellar nucleosynthesis. Historically, nuclear reactions have been studied at accelerator facilities where an ion beam impinges upon a cold target. However, in astrophysical environments, these reactions take place in high-energy-density (HED) plasmas. Beam-target fusion reactions in a cold target with bound electrons are not physically comparable to the thermal distributions of reacting…
