The ChETEC-INFRA<\/a> (Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Cosmos \u2013 Infrastructures for Nuclear Astrophysics) Trans-National Access Programme (TNA) provides access to telescopes for astronomical observations, nuclear laboratories to measure nuclear properties and rates, and supercomputers to compute complex stellar models aimed at Nuclear astrophysics research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call for ChETEC-INFRA proposals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Proposals can be submitted through the GATE<\/a> server continuously. The independent user selection panel meets every three months. The next collection date is February 17, 2024<\/span><\/strong>; followed by May 17, 2024; August 17, 2024 and November 17, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ChETEC-INFRA provides transnational access to the 13 infrastructures networked in the project. See here <\/a>for details on the TNA programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users outside the ChETEC-INFRA community are especially welcome!<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

ChETEC-INFRA<\/a> is a project funded by the EU within Horizon 2020. The project is coordinated by Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany. The PI of the project is PD Dr. Daniel Bemmerer<\/a>. ChETEC-INFRA involves 32 institutions from 18 European nations and is networked with nuclear astrophysics communities in the United States, China and Japan. Transnational access (TA) to infrastractures in the scope of ChETEC-INFRA includes three distinct types of facilities to serve a unique goal – the study of the creation of the chemical elements.<\/p>

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The coordinator of the project on Czech side is the head of the Stellar Department, Dr. Brankica Kub\u00e1tov\u00e1<\/a>. The TNA manager of the Perek 2m Telescope<\/a> is Dr. Olga Maryeva<\/a> (former TNA was Dr. Marek Skarka) and deputy TNA manager is Dr. Tiina Liimets<\/a>. The largest Czech telescope located at the observatory in Ond\u0159ejov will contribute with observations of various types of objects. This contribution will help to achieve one of the main aims of the project, to understand how the elements of the periodic table were created that will also allow us to better understand the evolution of the Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TA, as one of the pillars of ChETEC-INFRA, is provided by 13 facilities within the network. Facilities with TA include Astronuclear Laboratories, Astronuclear High-Performance Computing, and Astronuclear Telescopes. The infrastructures networked range from the Nordic Optical Telescope on the Canary Islands to medium-sized telescopes in the Czech Republic (the Perek 2m Telescope<\/a>), Lithuania, and Bulgaria. Nuclear laboratories allow to study element genesis by charged particle, neutron, or photon induced reactions, studying rare reactions with high beam intensities and high sensitivity, including an underground laboratory and accelerator mass spectrometry. A computing cluster with enough power to address nucleosynthesis in a massive star completes the list of infrastructures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
