Nuclear Weak Rates and Nuclear Weak Processes in Stars

Abstract

Nuclear weak rates in stellar environments are obtained by shell-model calculations including Gamow-Teller (GT) and spin-dipole transitions, and applied to nuclear weak processes in stars. The important roles of accurate weak rates for the study of astrophysical processes are pointed out. The weak rates in $sd$-shell are used to study the evolution of ONeMg cores in stars with 8-10 M${}_{\odot }$. Cooling of the core by nuclear Urca processes, and the heating by double e-captures on ${}^{20}$Ne are studied. Especially, the e-capture rates for a second-forbidden transition in ${}^{20}$Ne are evaluated with the multipole expansion method of Walecka and Behrens-B$\ddot{\mbox{u}}$hring, and the final fate of the cores, core-collapse or thermonuclear explosion, are discussed. The weak rates in $pf$-shell are applied to nucleosynthesis of iron-group elements in Type Ia supernovae. The over-production problem of neutron-rich iron isotopes compared with the solar abundances is now reduced to be within a factor of two. The weak rates for nuclear Urca pair with $A$=31 in the island of inversion are evaluated with the effective interaction obtained by the extended Kuo-Krenciglowa method. The transition strengths and e-capture rates in ${}^{78}$Ni, important for core-collapse processes, are evaluated with the $pf$-$sdg$ shell, and compared with those obtained by the random-phase-approximation and an effective rate formula. $\beta$-decay rates of $N$ =126 isotones are evaluated with both the GT and first-forbidden transitions. The half-lives are found to be shorter than those obtained by standard models. Neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections on ${}^{13}$C, ${}^{16}$O and ${}^{40}$Ar are obtained with new shell-model Hamiltonians. Implications on nucleosynthesis, neutrino detection, neutrino oscillations and neutrino mass hierarchy are discussed.
