Abstract

Nuclear astrophysics has developed in the last twenty years into one of the most important subfields of ‘applied’ nuclear physics. It is a truly interdisciplinary field, concentrating on primordial and stellar nucleosynthesis, stellar evolution, and the interpretation of cataclysmic stellar events like novae and supernovae.
