5 r-process path Puzzles R-process path Where is the site ??
Supernovae or Neutron-star Mergers or Both (mixed) Hot or cold ? (n,gamma) equilibrium or non-equilibrium Where is the r-process terminated ? fission decay in r-process path ? Magicity in heavy nuclei, N=184? R-process path Experimental Programs at RIBF Half Life : <- flow speed at EURICA Mass : <- path-way at Rare-RI Ring, MR-TOF Pn : <- n-source and decay-path at BRIKEN Fission-barrier height <- termination at SAMURAI

6 T1/2 for r-process path : A=100~130
Giuseppe, Nishimura et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, (2015) T1/2 theoretically predicted T1/2 experimentally measured

7 Fission Systematic measurements for symmetric fission
Heavy fragment in asymmetric fission U-238 Systematic measurements for symmetric fission at high excitation energy? Excitation energy dependence Z/A distribution of fission fragments fissile nuclei heavier than U or MA
