The Joint
Institute for Nuclear Astrophysics (JINA), a National
Foundation for Science Physics Frontier Center, is organizing
its second school on "Tools and Toys for Nuclear Astrophysics".
This series of lectures will focus on "Nuclear Reaction Network
Techniques" and will take place at Notre Dame, IN on June 20
- July 1, 2005.
Reaction network techniques have been developed as an
important tool for applications in nuclear astrophysics and
many other physics areas. This technique is particularly important
for simulating nucleosynthesis processes and for predicting
element production as well as energy generation in both stellar
evolution and stellar explosion processes. The increasing need
for using computational networking techniques requires special
training in the development and application of network programs.
This school
will provide an overview about the mathematical background as
well as the computational network techniques. Different applications
for stellar nucleosynthesis simulations will be presented and
discussed. In addition to the lectures, the participants will
have time to work with the various network codes under the guidance
of the lecturers. Codes
will be shared freely and will be available to participants
after the workshop.
Brad Meyer will be the featured speaker from June 27 -
July 1, 2005. Click on the links below for pdf versions.
