O(p,)F Reaction and the C and O Isotopic Ratios in Red Giant Branch Stars

D. Robb, P. McGlynn, M. Aliotta +55

The O/O isotopic ratio is a widely used tracer of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes in red giant stars. Its value depends on the rates of the proton-capture reacti…

Improved direct measurement of low-energy resonances in the Ne(p,)Na reaction

R. S. Sidhu, F. Casaburo, E. Masha +57

In the nova temperature range, 0.1 GK 0.4 GK, several low-energy resonances dominate the Ne(p,)Na reaction rate, which is currently affected by large uncer…

The Ne(,n)Mg reaction -- state of the art, astrophysics, and perspectives

Andreas Best, Philip Adsley, Ryan Amberger +11

One of the most important stellar neutron sources is the Ne(,n)Mg reaction, which gets activated both during the helium intershell burning in asymptotic giant bran…

Direct measurement of the 13C(α,n)16O cross section into the s-process Gamow peak

G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, D. Rapagnani +45

One of the main neutron sources for the astrophysical s-process is the reaction 13C(α,n)16O, taking place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars at temperatures around…

Direct capture cross section and the = 71 and 105 keV resonances in the Ne()Na reaction

F. Ferraro, M. P. Takács, D. Piatti +41

The Ne()Na reaction, part of the neon-sodium cycle of hydrogen burning, may explain the observed anticorrelation between sodium and oxygen abundances in globular…

Effect of beam energy straggling on resonant yield in thin gas targets: The cases Ne(p,γ)Na and N(p,γ)O

D. Bemmerer, F. Cavanna, R. Depalo +25

When deriving resonance strengths using the thick-target yield approximation, for very narrow resonances it may be necessary to take beam energy straggling into account. This appli…

A high-efficiency gas target setup for underground experiments, and redetermination of the branching ratio of the 189.5 keV resonance

F. Ferraro, M. P. Takács, D. Piatti +42

The experimental study of nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest is greatly facilitated by a low-background, high-luminosity setup. The Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astr…
