Towards a More Complete and Accurate Experimental Nuclear Reaction Data Library (EXFOR): International Collaboration Between Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC)
The International Network of Nuclear Reaction Data Centres (NRDC) coordinated
by the IAEA Nuclear Data Section (NDS) is successfully collaborating in the
maintenance and development of the EXFOR library. As the scope of published
data expands (e.g., to higher energy, to heavier projectile) to meet the needs
from the frontier of sciences and applications, it becomes nowadays a hard and
challenging task to maintain both completeness and accuracy of the whole EXFOR
library. The paper describes evolution of the library with highlights on recent
developments.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Exclusion Limits on the WIMP-Nucleon Cross-Section from the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search
The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) employs Ge and Si detectors to searchfor WIMPs via their elastic-scattering interactions with nuclei whilediscriminating against interactions of background particles. CDMS data givelimits on the spin-independent WIMP-nucleon elastic-scattering cross-sectionthat exclude unexplored parameter space above 10 GeV~c WIMP mass and, atL, the entire 3 allowed region for the WIMP signal reported bythe DAMA experiment
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and
astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical
objects and the origin of the chemical elements. This white paper summarizes
progress and status of the field, the new open questions that have emerged, and
the tremendous scientific opportunities that have opened up with major advances
in capabilities across an ever growing number of disciplines and subfields that
need to be integrated. We take a holistic view of the field discussing the
unique challenges and opportunities in nuclear astrophysics in regards to
science, diversity, education, and the interdisciplinarity and breadth of the
field. Clearly nuclear astrophysics is a dynamic field with a bright future
that is entering a new era of discovery opportunities.Comment: 96 pages. Submitted to Journal of Physics
