Nuclear shell model calculations as input for astrophysical processes

The student will use the interacting shell model to study properties of ground and low-lying excited states as well as the corresponding electromagnetic and weak transitions for nuclei of importance for astrophysical scenarios like the nucleosynthesis in the r-process. For this the student has to learn about the shell model and how to perform and analyze calculations with the shell model code. The student will also learn about both the nuclear physics aspects and the nuclear physics input needed for astrophysical modeling of the r-process.
