LUNANOVA Laboratory Underground for Nuclear Astrophysics New Observatory for Solar Neutrino Reactions
Coordinator: HELMHOLTZ-ZENTRUM DRESDEN-ROSSENDORF EV (DE)
Nuclear astrophysics studies the processes that generate energy and control the chemical makeup of the universe. One area of nuclear astrophysics has recently entered the 1% precision domain: Big Bang nucleosynthesis. However, another area of nuclear astrophysics with even greater importance is still lagging behind: Our Sun. Here, the precision breakthrough is still missing, and hampering not only the solar but all stellar models. LUNANOVA ideally combines a great effort from nuclear experiment, theory, and astrophysics: The results of astrophysical simulations guide the nuclear physics work …
About Horizon Europe (2021–2027)
Horizon Europe is the EU's current research and innovation programme, covering 2021 to 2027 with a budget of roughly €95.5 billion. Its three pillars are Excellent Science (frontier research and mobility), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (mission-driven collaborative projects in health, climate, digital, security and food) and Innovative Europe (the EIC and EIT). It also funds five EU Missions targeting cancer, climate adaptation, smart cities, oceans and soils.
EU contribution: €14.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2026-09-01 to 2032-08-31.
