DESCRIPTION:In light of supporting all interested scientists to participat
 e\, we would like to inform you that the 8th p-process workshop will run i
 n hybrid mode\, with both in person and online attendance possible.\nScien
 tific Rationale\nBeyond iron\, a number of rare\, neutron-deficient\, stab
 le isotopes\, is made of proton-rich isotopes\, the p-nuclei. They constit
 ute a small fraction in mass of the heavy nuclear species\, but a clear un
 derstanding of their production still remains a fundamental challenge for 
 nuclear astrophysics.\nThe γ-process is the most established scenario for
  the production of the p-nuclei\, through a sequence of (γ\,n)\, (γ\,p) 
 and (γ\,α) reactions on pre-existing heavy seed material in core-collaps
 e supernovae and in thermonuclear supernovae. However\, not all the heavy 
 proton-rich isotopes are made exclusively by the γ-process. Some of them 
 like 152Gd and 164Er can be made by neutron-capture processes. Others\, li
 ke light-p nuclei\, may require the contribution of neutrino winds nucleos
 ynthesis components or the α-rich freeze-out. Neutrino spallation is expe
 cted to be relevant for the production of 138La and 180Ta. Major puzzles r
 emain to account for the solar abundances of p-nuclei in the Mo-Ru region.
   \nIn order to understand the production of the p-nuclei in stars\, the 
 contribution from different disciplines is needed: from nuclear physics to
  provide the relevant nuclear reaction rates far from the valley of stabil
 ity\; from stellar simulations to provide the conditions where the nucleos
 ynthesis is taking place\; from galactic chemical evolution to simulate th
 e abundance of the p-nuclei in the Galaxy and in the Sun\; and from observ
 ations of the p-nuclei in solar material\, including isotopic anomalies in
  meteorites and presolar grains.  \nThe workshop will cover the above men
 tioned topics\, more specifically:\n\nNuclear physics data (theory and exp
 eriments) related to p-process nucleosynthesis\nStellar models and nucleos
 ynthesis\nMeteorites\, presolar grains and radioactives\nGalactic chemical
  evolution\n\n \n \nThanks to our sponsors the conference fee will be co
 vered for all participants. Please note that the number of in-person parti
 cipants is limited and we will prioritise participants who submit an abstr
 act.\n \n\n \n   \n\n\n \n\nhttps://indico.global/event/5667/
