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…

The 3He(α,γ)7Be γ-ray angular distribution: measured, and calculated by effective field theory

S. Turkat, P. Hempel, X. Zhang +26

The 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be reaction takes place in several distinct astrophysical scenarios. First, in solar hydrogen burning, 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be controls the competition between the…
