A new Nuclear Astrophysics Masterclass - A Journey through the Elements — •Hannes Nitsche1, Uta Bilow1, Lana Ivanjek1, Kai Zuber1, and Daniel Bemmerer2 for the Netzwerk Teilchenwelt collaboration — 1Technische Universität Dresden — 2Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf
Masterclasses are one-day outreach events for high school students, introducing them to topics of current research. Within the framework of the EU project ChETEC-INFRA, a new Masterclass on Nuclear Astrophysics has been developed. This interdisciplinary field of science provides a new didactic perspective on nuclear and astrophysical processes by addressing the link between these two subjects.
The Nuclear Astrophysics Masterclass picks up this didactic potential. It includes the analysis of measurement data from a nuclear reaction studied at the Felsenkeller Laboratory in Dresden. Furthermore, the processes behind nucleosynthesis are reconstructed with the help of various gamification elements. The talk will present the teaching materials, the didactic concept as well as the experiences made so far in the implementation of the Masterclass.
