Report written by A.B. Generalities on the r-process Mass Measurements and Calculations.  -decay Light nuclei astrophysics Coulomb excitations, dipole strength, pigmy resonance Structure around N=82 MISSING: Neutron capture cross sections i.e. 59 Fe(n,  ) 60 Fe and 60 Fe(n,  ) 61 Fe 107 Pd See T. Rodriguez talk at this meeting

Report written by B. Rubio, A.B. See B. Rubio talk at this meeting Ground state properties: mass measurements, T_1/2, gamma widths…and fundamental symmetries. Laser spectroscopy is a very promising methodology which is particularly interesting for the synergies with other fields of Physics. Direct measurement for nuclear astrophysics (example for stellar nucleosyntesis): origin of 26Al need 25Al(p, )26Si or 26mAl(p, )27Si … dedicated target station…low energy Theoretically: study of resonances in p-scattering optical potential One-, two- and three-proton radioactivities Exotic excitations in proton rich nuclei and clusterisation
