devoted to timely reports of state-of-the-art developments in physics and related
sciences. Typically based on material presented at conferences, workshops and
similar scientific meetings, volumes published in this series will constitute a
comprehensive up-to-date source ofreferenceon afieldorsubfieldofrelevancein
contemporary physics. Proposals must include the following:
– name, place and date of the scientific meeting
– a link to the committees (local organization, international advisors etc.)
– scientific description of the meeting
– list of invited/plenary speakers

Foreword
The symposium NUCLEI IN THE COSMOS 2018 was held at the Laboratori
Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), L’Aquila—Assergi, Italy, from June 24 to 29,
2018. Already in 1994, LNGS had hosted a NUCLEI IN THE COSMOS sympo-
sium. So, LNGS is honored to be the first location chosen to host this conference
two times. Starting from the pilot meeting in Greece (1988), the series of inter-
nationalconferenceonNUCLEIINTHECOSMOShasbeenorganizedinAustralia,
Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Germany, Greece and Switzerland to
discuss topics at the crossroads of astronomy, astrophysics and nuclear physics. In
thisXVedition,197researchesfrom29countriesparticipatedtoconference,153of
which traveled in from outside the host country. Thus, the NIC XV program
consisted of 25 invited review talks, 48 selected oral and 110 poster contributions
on important experimental and theoretical results in nuclear, particle and astro-
physics researches, as well as a detailed and thorough exposition of the modern
challenges in nuclear astrophysical scenarios.
The conference program aimed to address the current major achievements in
nuclear physics, astrophysics, astronomy, cosmochemistry and neutrino physics
that provide the necessary framework for any microscopic understanding of
astrophysical processes, as well as for discussing the future directions and per-
spectives in the various fields of nuclear astrophysics research. The scientific
program covered specific sessions on cosmology and Big Bang nucleosynthesis,
stellar contributions to the chemical evolution, hydrostatic and explosive nucle-
osynthesis, neutrino and nucleus interaction in the cosmos, physics of nuclei far
fromstability,synthesisofheavyelements,directobservationofnucleosynthesisin
stars, study of extraterrestrial materials, nucleosynthesis in extreme environments,
techniques, tools and facilities for nuclear astrophysics and nuclear data for astro-
physical applications.
In addition, a limited number of contributions on the special topic “particle
astrophysics and rare events in cosmos” provided the possibility to explore the
interface between nuclear astrophysics and astroparticle physics.

five best poster presentations delivered by graduate and undergraduate students
were selected and rewarded during the conference by a dedicated committee.

Prof.Karl-Friedel ThielemanncontributedwithSpecialLectureentitled“explosive
nucleosynthesis: what we learned and what we still did not understand” to review
the incredible story of success of this series of conferences.
As in previous editions, also NUCLEI IN THE COSMOS 2018 was comple-
mentedbytwodedicatedsatelliteevents:theNICXV“SchoolonExperimentaland
Theoretical Methods in Nuclear Astrophysics with Applications” and the NIC XV
Workshop “Core-collapse Supernovae in the Multi-messenger Era (CCSN 2018).”
The“SchoolonExperimentalandTheoreticalMethodsinNuclearAstrophysics
with Applications” (http://www.circe.unicampania.it/index.php/special-events/nic-
2018-satellite-school) was held in Caserta, Italy, from June 18 to 22, 2018. It was
geared toward graduate students, but advanced undergraduate students as well as
postdocs were also admitted. A total of 26 students from 10 countries and 3 con-
tinents attended the school.
The first two days were devoted to introductory lectures. In the following days,
students split in groups to perform one out of four possible hands-on stages on
nuclear reaction cross sections using ERNA (“European Recoil Separator for
Nuclear Astrophysics”) at the 3MV tandem laboratory (convener: R. Buompane),
measurements of isotopic ratios in meteorites at the ICP-MS laboratory (convener:
S. Palmerini), model calculations, nuclear cross sections and comparison to
observations in stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis (convener: L. Piersanti) and
dataanalysisinthecontextoftheTrojanHorsemethod(convener:M.LaCognata).

backgrounds and even cultural diversity became opportunities for mutual enrich-

L.Gialanella(Chair),F.Marzaioli,P.Migliozzi,H.Schatz,O.Straniero,F.Strieder
andA.Tumino.ItwasorganizedbytheUniversityofCampania“LuigiVanvitelli,”
supported by INFN and JINA and sponsored by CAEN. Lectures and hands-on
stages were held by the staff of different universities/research institutes: INAF,
INFN, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, universities of Bologna,
Campania, Catania, Naples and Perugia.
The workshop “Core-collapse Supernovae in the Multi-messenger Era (CCSN
2018)”wasorganizedfromJuly2to3,2018,attheGSSIasasecondsatelliteevent

and works and important progresses have been announced. CCSN 2018 was
organizedjointlybytheGSSI—GranSassoScienceInstitute,INAF—Osservatorio
Astronomico d’Abruzzo and INFN—Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso. The
Organizing Committee of the workshop was chaired by Oscar Straniero and
Francesco Vissani and included Marica Branchesi, Marco Drago, Matthias Junker,
Chris Fryer, Ewald Muller, Massimo della Valle and Diego Vescovi.
NUCLEI IN THE COSMOS 2018 has been made possible thanks to the
engagement of all those colleagues who served in the International Advisory and
Program Committees as well of the Organizing Committee. A special thank is
addressed to Fausto Chiarizia for his efficiency in the logistic and the secretary
organization, we are also like to thank Alessio Attardi, as well as Aurora Galimi,
Valeria La Speme, Chiara Ruggeri and Alessandro Serafini (“Liceo Pasteur” high
school in Rome).
The conference and satellite events received support by INFN, Università degli
Studi della Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli,” GSSI, JINA-CEE, IUPAP and EPS. We
are grateful to High Voltage Engineering Europe and Springer Nature who spon-
sored the conference, too.
