Abstract

Professor Pierre Descouvemont will collaborate with Professor Hussein in the field of reaction theory for exotic nuclei and in nuclear astrophysics. He will also collaborate with the nuclear experimental group of USP headed by Professor Alinka Lepine in the analysis of data on reactions induced by weakly bound nuclei, of relevance to nuclear astrophysics.
