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…
Key Ne states identified affecting -ray emission from F in novae
M. R. Hall, D. W. Barbadian, T. Baugher +34
Detection of nuclear-decay rays provides a sensitive thermometer of nova nucleosynthesis. The most intense -ray flux is thought to be annihilation radiation from the $β^+…
Neutron transfer reactions on the ground state and isomeric state of a 130Sn beam
K. L. Jones, A. Bey, S. Burcher +23
The structure of nuclei around the neutron-rich nucleus 132Sn is of particular interest due to the vicinity of the Z = 50 and N = 82 shell closures and the r-process nucleosyntheti…
Use of Bayesian Optimization to Understand the Structure of Nuclei
J. Hooker, J. Kovoor, K. L. Jones +41
Monte Carlo simulations are widely used in nuclear physics to model experimental systems. In cases where there are significant unknown quantities, such as energies of states, an it…
Towards Neutron Capture on Exotic Nuclei: Demonstrating as a Surrogate Reaction for
A. Ratkiewicz, J. A. Cizewski, J. E. Escher +15
The neutron-capture reaction plays a critical role in the synthesis of the elements in stars and is important for societal applications including nuclear power generation and stock…
New -ray Transitions Observed in Ne with Implications for the O(,)Ne Reaction Rate
M. R. Hall, D. W. Bardayan, T. Baugher +34
The O(,)Ne reaction is responsible for breakout from the hot CNO cycle in Type I x-ray bursts. Understanding the properties of resonances between an…
