Reaction Network School at Notre Dame

June 20 - July 1, 2005
Notre Dame, Indiana, USA

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.

Participants will be selected from applications. Please submit an application through the JINA webpage ( http://archive.jinaweb.org ). Travel and housing assistance will be made available for all participants in need. Deadline for submission is June 1, 2005.

Featured speakers:
  Dr. Brad Meyer, Clemson University
  Dr. Frank Timmes, Los Alamos National Laboratory
  Dr. Laszlo Barabasi, University of Notre Dame
