Hadrons in Vacuum, Nuclei and Stars

European Graduate College Basel - Graz - Tübingen "Hadrons in Vacuum, Nuclei and Stars".
Properties of hadrons and simple hadronic systems like e.g. the pionium, the pion-nucleon interaction and the interaction between baryons are investigated experimentally and theoretically. Nucleus-nucleus collisions allow the study of properties of hot and dense nuclear matter, which are important for predictions of the Big Bang and in Super Nova Explosions. For the burning of the stars reactions between radioactive nuclei far away from stabilty are studied. One is further investigating the interactions of neutrinos with matter, neutrino oscillations and the double beta decay. Neutrinos allow the study of nuclear reactions in the center of the sun
