Nuclear data resources and initiatives for nuclear astrophysics
Research into the cosmic synthesis of the elements, the evolution and explosion of stars, the nature of the early Universe, and other important topics in nuclear astrophysics are at the forefront of nuclear science. These studies are motivating laboratory measurements and theoretical calculations that, after significant investments, are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The latest nuclear results, however, must be specially prepared before they can be used to advance our knowledge of the cosmos. This processing requires a set of resources unique to nuclear astrophysics, and an impressive collection of nuclear reaction and nuclear structure datasets, processing codes, thermonuclear reaction rate libraries, and simulation codes and services have been developed for the field. There are, however, some serious challenges to these efforts that will only worsen in the future, making it important to develop strategies and act now to ensure a sustainable future for this work. After detailing the specific data types needed for nuclear astrophysics and the available data resources, the major challenges in this work and their implications are discussed. A set of initiatives are proposed to meet those challenges along with suggested implementations and possible ways that they may advance our understanding of the Universe and strengthen the field of nuclear astrophysics.
