The role of nanostructured targets in Laser-Produced Plasmas for Nuclear Astrophysics studies
… and temperature characteristics suitable for nuclear fusion studies, relevant in astrophysics. The optimization of the specific characteristics of nanomaterials, containing metal nanowires, could lead to a stagnant, hotter and denser plasma and to implement the above mentioned studies …

Study of ¹⁸NE using the array for Nuclear Astrophysics and Structure with exotic nuclei
… to study many important reactions. The Array for Nuclear Astrophysics and Structure with Exotic Nuclei (ANASEN), a charged particle detector designed by Louisiana State University (LSU) and Florida State University (FSU), was created for this purpose. ANASEN is used to study the reactions …

Use of Active Target Detectors in Nuclear Astrophysics: Nucleosynthesis of Fluorine and Fusion of Neon
In most astrophysical systems, nuclear reactions occur at very low energies with typical cross sections on the order of fractions of a pico-barn or less. Accelerator facilities designed for low-energy heavy ion experiments can have ion luminosities on the order of 10^5-10^7 particles per second for …

From Hypernuclei to Hypermatter: a Quantum Monte Carlo Study of Strangeness in Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics
… in Quantum Monte Carlo calculations for nuclear systems including strange degrees of freedom. The Auxiliary Field Diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm has been extended to the strange sector by the inclusion of the lightest among the hyperons, the Λ particle. This allows to perform detailed …

Neutron exposure and neutron flux in Asymptotic Giant Branch stars: a study of neutron capture cross sections of Zr isotopes
Nuclear astrophysics is an interdisciplinary branch of physics involving close collaboration among researchers in various subfields of nuclear physics and astrophysics, with significant emphasis in areas such as stellar modeling, measurement and theoretical estimation of nuclear reaction rates, …

Using fusion-product spectroscopy to study inertial fusion implosions, stopping power, and astrophysical nucleosynthesis at OMEGA and the NIF
… from fusion reactions occurring in plasmas, nuclear diagnostics can be used to study the properties of the burning plasma, as a probe of the plasma, or of the fundamental fusion reaction physics. In this thesis, fusion product spectroscopy is used to study ignition-scale inertial fusion …

Indirect 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He fusion reactions measurement at energies relevant for Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
… sections (and reaction rates) measurements for astrophysics can not be satisfied. This is because of the problems given by their measurements in the laboratory, as the presence of Coulomb barrier (that makes cross sections exponentially decrease in the energy range of interest) and the electron …

Exotic Stars and Thorne-Żytkow Objects
… supergiant-like solutions, dominated by nuclear burning, even for masses that admit a giant-like solution, dominated by accretion on to the neutron core, in these earlier models. I have investigated the thermodynamic consistency of these models and how robust the qualitative structure of …
