What is the source of energy and light in our universe? How were and how are the chemical elements synthesized? These are fundamental questions of mankind which can only be answered if one combines the properties of atomic nuclei and the properties of stars. This defines the research field of Nuclear Astrophysics. The course will help you to get a basic understanding of the underlying processes and the experimental techniques to study these processes in the laboratory.
