Prof. Erich Vogt, TRIUMF, Vancouver, BC, Canada Date: Feb. 25, 2007 Title: TRIUMF's new ISAC facility for nuclear astrophysics Abstract: Currently the highest priority in the world effort in Nuclear Physics pertains to the new generation of Radioactive Beam (or Rare Isotope Beam) accelerators. TRIUMF's ISAC facility is the first of these and has just begun operation: the RIA project in the USA is still a decade away. The science program of these facilities aims to explore the exotic nuclear physics of the whole nuclear landscape - including not only the hundreds of stable nuclei but also the thousands of radioactive nuclei - and, in particular, to measure the myriad of crucial reactions responsible for the evolution of stars, for the creation of elements in the stars and for the spectacular events associated with stellar collapse. The general features of the nuclear landscape will be discussed and the major issues of nuclear astrophysics will be described and the plans for attaining the necessary measurements.
