Supernova Science at Spallation Neutron Sources
W. R. Hix, A. Mezzacappa, O. E. B. Messer +1
New facilities to measure neutrino-nucleus cross sections, such as those possible in conjunction with spallation neutron sources, could provide an experimental foundation for the m…
A New 17F(p,gamma)18Ne Reaction Rate and Its Implications for Nova Nucleosynthesis
S. Parete-Koon, W. R. Hix, M. S. Smith +4
Proton capture by 17F plays an important role in the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions. A revised rate for this reaction, based on a measurement of the 1H(17F,p)17F excitation…
Electron capture rates on nuclei and implications for stellar core collapse
K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo, J. M. Sampaio +7
Supernova simulations to date have assumed that during core collapse electron captures occur dominantly on free protons, while captures on heavy nuclei are Pauli-blocked and are ig…
