Executive Summary of the Topical Program: Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB

G. W. Misch, M. R. Mumpower, F. G. Kondev +29

We report on the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) Theory Alliance topical program "Nuclear Isomers in the Era of FRIB". We outline the many ways isomers influence and contrib…

Sensitivity of Neutron-Rich Nuclear Isomer Behavior to Uncertainties in Direct Transitions

G. Wendell Misch, Trevor M. Sprouse, Matthew R. Mumpower +4

Nuclear isomers are populated in the rapid neutron capture process (r process) of nucleosynthesis. The r process may cover a wide range of temperatures, potentially starting from s…

A strong neutron burst in jet-like supernovae of spinstars

A. Choplin, N. Tominaga, B. S. Meyer

Some metal-poor stars have abundance patterns which are midway between the slow (s) and rapid (r) neutron capture processes. We show that the helium shell of a fast rotating massiv…

Learning about the intermediate neutron-capture process from lead abundances

Melanie Hampel, Amanda I. Karakas, Richard J. Stancliffe +2

Lead (Pb) is predominantly produced by the slow neutron-capture process (s process) in asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. In contrast to significantly enhanced Pb abundances pred…

Catching Element Formation In The Act

Chris L. Fryer, Frank Timmes, Aimee L. Hungerford +216

Gamma-ray astronomy explores the most energetic photons in nature to address some of the most pressing puzzles in contemporary astrophysics. It encompasses a wide range of objects…

Stellar ArAr reactions and their effect on light neutron-rich nuclide synthesis

M. Tessler, M. Paul, S. Halfon +22

The ArAr ( = 35 d) and ArAr (269 y) reactions were studied for the first time with a quasi-Maxwellian ( keV) neutron flux…
