Abstract

Elements heavier than Fe need explosive environments with high enough density and temperature to be produced. A bunch of nucleosynthesis processes occurring in various sites generate these elements. In this talk, I will introduce general picture of nucleosynthesis and several of my recent researches. The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) produce about half of elements heavier than iron, I will show some features of r-process in a novel site, the Common Envelop Jet Supernova where the jet launched by a neutron star that spirals in inside the core of a red supergiant star in a common envelope. The first measurement of neutron capture reaction based on OSLO method have been performed in China by our collaboration last year, the preliminary results will be shown in this talk. In additional, I will introduce some key reactions in the weak r-process and the neutrino proton process.

 

Biography: 

Shilun Jin is a staff scientist of Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He graduated from Lanzhou University and earned his PhD degree in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. He was a postdoctoral fellow at National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory in Michigan State University, and a research associate in University of Notre Dame.

He works both on the theory and experiment in the nuclear astrophysics, especially focuses on the rapid neutron capture process.
