Detector characterization for a new C+C reaction study at LUNA
R. M. Gesùè, S. Turkat, J. Skowroński +50
The C+C fusion reaction plays a crucial role in stellar evolution, including the occurrence of supernova explosions, and in the synthesis of the chemical elements. Ho…
A prototype neutron-detector array for future deep-underground s-process studies
Thomas Chillery, David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna +12
We report a novel neutron-detection approach employing an EJ-309 liquid scintillator surrounded by six 3He proportional counters. Tests were performed at the FRANZ facility of the…
Setup commissioning for an improved measurement of the D(p,gamma)3He cross section at Big Bang Nucleosynthesis energies
V. Mossa, K. Stöckel, F. Cavanna +44
Among the reactions involved in the production and destruction of deuterium during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the deuterium-burning D(p,gamma)3He reaction has the largest uncertaint…
A new approach to monitor 13C-targets degradation in situ for 13C(alpha,n)16O cross-section measurements at LUNA
G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, J. Balibrea-Correa +46
Direct measurements of reaction cross-sections at astrophysical energies often require the use of solid targets able to withstand high ion beam currents for extended periods of tim…
