SUMMARY:The r-process nucleosynthesis: connecting FRIB with the cosmos
DESCRIPTION:
 Dear Colleague,\n
 \n
 We would like to invite you 
 to register for the program "The r-process 
 nucleosynthesis: connecting FRIB with the 
 cosmos".  This three-week program will 
 take place at NSCL/FRIB in East Lansing, MI and 
 is supported by the ICNT and JINA-CEE.\n
  \n
 We 
 will discuss many topics related to the r-process 
 with the following general schedule:\n
 \n
 	•Week 
 one (May 30-June 3, 2016): r-process 
 abundances, observations, abundance patterns, 
 r-process sites, kinds and compositions of 
 ejecta, multiple r-processes, chemical evolution 
 constraints, kilonova, open questions.\n
  
 \n
 	•Week two (June 6-10): Intensive Workshop 
 on r-process experiments, experimental capabilities 
 + related theory such as mass models, 
 reaction rate calculations, impact of experiment.\n
  
 \n
 	•Week three (June 13-17): astrophysical 
 simulations of supernova winds and neutron 
 star mergers, reaction networks, sensitivity 
 studies.\n
  \n
 One goal of this program is 
 to identify promising r-process nuclear experiments 
 at FRIB and other laboratories and discuss 
 the considerable astrophysics, astronomy, 
 and nuclear theory infrastructure necessary 
 to make full use of the experimental results 
 and determine their possible impact.  Weeks 
 one and three will have a limited number of 
 talks each morning with plenty of time in the 
 afternoon for both informal and more formal 
 discussion.  Week two will have more talks including 
 many on r-process related nuclear experiments. 
  Please note that the above schedule 
 is a general guide.  If you cannot make a particular 
 week or weeks, please participate when 
 you can.\n
  \n
 Thank you very much and best 
 regards,\n
