Arthur Cole is looking for signatures of past supernovae in icecore samples
Interaction of Supernova Neutrinos with Strange Matter in (Proto-) Neutronstars
Juergen J. Zach is involved in trying to find out what the introduction of strange matter in neutron stars would do to the supernova neutrino signal
Isobaric analogue states
Dr. Murphy is using levels in a known nucleus (Ti46) to deduce the properties of unknown levels in another nucleus (Cr46). This is so that the V45(p,g)Cr46 reaction rate, which is an important link in the production of Ti46, may be estimated.
Pycnonuclear reactions
He is also looking into rates in extremely dense, but relatively cold environments (older neutron stars for example)
