First inverse kinematics study of the NeNa reaction and its role in AGB star and classical nova nucleosynthesis
M. Williams, A. Lennarz, A. M. Laird +17
The abundances of sodium and oxygen are observed to be anti-correlated in all well-studied globular clusters. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars undergoing hot bottom burning (HBB…
A direct measurement of the 17O(a,g)21Ne reaction in inverse kinematics and its impact on heavy element production
M. P. Taggart, C. Akers, A. M. Laird +33
During the slow neutron capture process in massive stars, reactions on light elements can both produce and absorb neutrons thereby influencing the final heavy element abundances. A…
Shell evolution approaching the N=20 island of inversion: Structure of 29Mg
A. Matta, W. N. Catford, N. A. Orr +36
The "Island of Inversion" for neutron-rich nuclei in the vicinity of N=20 has become the testing ground par excellence for our understanding and modelling of shell evolution with i…
Initial operation of the recoil mass spectrometer EMMA at the ISAC-II facility of TRIUMF
B. Davids, M. Williams, N. E. Esker +8
The Electromagnetic Mass Analyser (EMMA) is a new vacuum-mode recoil mass spectrometer currently undergoing the final stages of commissioning at the ISAC-II facility of TRIUMF. EMM…
Spectroscopy of Ne for the thermonuclear O()Ne and F()O reaction rates
A. Parikh, A. M. Laird, N. de Séréville +10
Uncertainties in the thermonuclear rates of the O()Ne and F()O reactions affect model predictions of light curves from type I X-ray bursts and…
Shell evolution approaching the N=20 island of inversion: structure of 26Na
G. L. Wilson, W. N. Catford, N. A. Orr +37
The levels in 26Na with single particle character have been observed for the first time using the d(25Na,p gamma) reaction at 5 MeV/nucleon. The measured excitation energies and th…
