Scope of Research
Scope of Research
FRENA provides opportunities for research in the field of low-energy Nuclear Astrophysics for the first time in India. Centered around a high current 3 MV Tandetron, FRENA will help address important queries related to different astrophysical scenarios like hydrogen and helium burning, as well as those related to the fusion of heavy-ions like 12C, 16O and 20Ne. In addition, necessary infrastructure is being developed for cold target systems, window-less gas-jet target systems, recoil mass separator and large-scale simulation work essential for modeling of the relevant nuclear processes. Due to its versatile nature, FRENA is envisioned to evolve into an inter-disciplinary accelerator center for academic and societal benefits.
