Structure Studies of from the Be(d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics on a solid deuteron target
J. Kovoor, K. L. Jones, J. Hooker +42
The low-lying structure of Be has remained an enigma for decades. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies, large inconsistencies remain. Being both unbound, an…
Direct measurement of Cu(,)Ni precludes a strong NiCu cycle in Type-I X-ray bursts
N. Bhathi, J. S. Randhawa, R. Kanungo +36
Model-observation comparisons of type-I X-ray bursts (XRBs) can reveal the properties of accreting neutron star systems, including the neutron star compactness. XRBs are powered by…
Clarification of large-strength transitions in the beta decay of 11Be
J. Refsgaard, J. Büscher, A. Arokiaraj +3
The shape and normalisation of the beta-delayed alpha spectrum from 11Be was measured by implanting 11Be ions in a segmented Si detector. The spectrum is found to be dominated by a…
Measurement of the branching ratio for beta-delayed alpha decay of 16N
J. Refsgaard, O. S. Kirsebom, E. A. Dijck +10
While the 12C(a,g)16O reaction plays a central role in nuclear astrophysics, the cross section at energies relevant to hydrostatic helium burning is too small to be directly measur…
First direct measurement of Cu(p,)Ni: A step towards constraining the Ni-Cu cycle in the Cosmos
J. S. Randhawa, R. Kanungo, J. Refsgaard +34
Reactions on the proton-rich nuclides drive the nucleosynthesis in Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) and in X-ray bursts (XRBs). CCSNe eject the nucleosynthesis products to the inte…
Comment on "Direct Observation of Proton Emission in Be"
H. O. U. Fynbo, Z. Janas, C. Mazzocchi +4
We argue that conclusions of [PRL 123, 082501 (2019)] are incorrect. The authors present the direct observation of beta-delayed proton emission in the beta decay of 11Be. From the…
