EPJ A Topical Collection: From Reactors to Stars

Guest Editors: Maurizio Busso, Maria Lugaro, Alberto Mengoni, Rene Reifarth and Michael Wiescher

The EPJA Topical Collection “From reactors to stars" is dedicated to the life and work of Dr. Franz Käppeler who died on 20 November 2021, after a short illness. He was one of the leading experimentalists in the field of experimental nuclear astrophysics in Germany and worldwide for decades. Many of the authors of this volume knew Franz personally and many others were directly or indirectly inspired by his work and personality. All publications in this volume report on current research and are not necessarily actual work by Dr. Käppeler.

The articles included in the Topical Collection are available here and are freely accessible until 31 May 2025. For further information read the Editorial.
