Abstract
The 17th International Nuclear Physics Divisional Conference of the European Physical Society, “Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics,” was held in Debrecen, Hungary from September 30 to October 4,2002. This conference was originally planned to take place in Eilat, Israel in 2001, but was moved to Debrecen because of security considerations. Many of the topics and much of the program were similar to those planned for the Eilat meeting. The main objective of the conference was to deal with all those subjects of nuclear physics that impact astrophysics and are an essential input in the understanding of astrophysical processes. The emphasis was on the recent theoretical and experimental developments in nuclear physics that are of relevance to astrophysics. The topics discussed at the conference included: cross-section measurements and nuclear data for astrophysics, stellar and big bang nucleosynthesis, the application of nuclear structure far from the stability line to astrophysics, neutrino physics, nuclear reactions pertaining to astrophysics, rare ion beam facilities and experiments, and a few other diverse topics. The program of the conference included 26 invited lectures and 30 contributed ones delivered by speakers representing 22 countries. In addition, a poster session was organized. There were a number of talks related to neutrino physics including some of the most recent experimental results (for example, those of SNO, I d
