Abstract: In-person colloquium at UVic

-----------
Virtually all of the isotopes heavier than iron would not exist without neutron-induced reactions. Despite their importance in many different astrophysical scenarios, there are almost no direct measurements for isotopes with half-lives shorter than a few years. A radically new approach is necessary to overcome this constraint. A combination of a free-neutron target and an ion storage ring can bring the half-life limit down to fractions of a minute. I will review different astrophysical scenarios, status of current experiments as well as prospects of this new experimental endeavour.
