Program and status for the planned underground accelerator in the Dresden Felsenkeller

摘要

Abstract. The scientific program and curent status of the planned accelerator laboratory in the Felsenkeller shallow-underground facility in Dresden, Germany, are reviewed. 1. Introduction The increasing precision of nuclear reaction cross section data is one of the main drivers of progress in nuclear astrophysics [1]. For reactions induced by light, stable ions, the preferred experimental technique to obtain such data is to perform ultra-low background experiments at an underground ion accel.
