Frontiers in Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics, and Reactions—FINUSTAR 3, Rhodes, Greece, 23-27 August 2010

The proceedings of this conference should be of interest to nuclear physicists (researchers, university and college professors, graduate and post-graduate students). FINUSTAR 3 covered a wide spectrum of research activities in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear reactions that due to common instrumentation and research facilities have been overlapping strongly over the last years. The topics in nuclear structure, astrophysics and reactions, experimental and theoretical, covered by FINUSTAR 3 are as follows: Nuclear structure at the extremes Collective phenomena and phase transitions in nuclei Exotic excitations Synthesis and structure of the heaviest elements Nuclear masses and ground state properties Ab-initio calculations and the shell model Mean field theories, cluster models and molecular dynamics Scattering and reaction dynamics at low and intermediate energies Nuclear reactions off stability and indirect methods Neutrinos in nuclear astrophysics and astro-particle physics Nuclear astrophysics (Big-Bang, s-, r- and p-process & nuclide production) Radioactive and exotic relativistic beams Facilities and instrumentation for the future
