Understanding globular cluster abundances through nuclear reactions
P Adsley, M Williams, D S Harrouz +24
Globular clusters contain multiple stellar populations, with some previous generation of stars polluting the current stars with heavier elements. Understanding the history of globu…
First inverse kinematics measurement of resonances in Be()C relevant to neutrino-driven wind nucleosynthesis using DRAGON
A. Psaltis, A. A. Chen, R. Longland +18
A possible mechanism to explain the origin of the light -nuclei in the Galaxy is the nucleosynthesis in the proton-rich neutrino-driven wind ejecta of core-collapse supernovae v…
Direct measurement of resonances in Be()C relevant to -process nucleosynthesis
A. Psaltis, A. A. Chen, R. Longland +18
We have performed the first direct measurement of two resonances of the Be()C reaction with unknown strengths using an intense radioactive Be beam and the DRAGO…
New measurement of the keV resonance in the Fp,γ^{20}$Ne reaction
M. Williams, P. Adsley, B. Davids +6
At temperatures below 0.1 GK the FNe reaction is the only breakout path out of the CNO cycle. Experimental studies of this reaction are challenging from a techni…
Constraints on key O()Ne resonances and impact on the weak s-process
M. Williams, A. M. Laird, A. Choplin +7
The efficiency of the slow neutron-capture process in massive stars is strongly influenced by neutron-capture reactions on light elements. At low metallicity, O is an import…
First inverse kinematics measurement of key resonances in the reaction at stellar temperatures
A. Lennarz, M. Williams, A. M. Laird +17
In this Letter we report on the first inverse kinematics measurement of key resonances in the reaction which forms part of the NeNa cycle, and…
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…
Direct Measurement of Astrophysically Important Resonances in
G. Christian, G. Lotay, C. Ruiz +12
According to sensitivity studies, the reaction has a significant influence on , , and p…
Strength of the keV resonance in {Ne}{Na}
G. Christian, D. Hutcheon, C. Akers +3
The NeNa reaction is the starting point of the NeNa cycle, which is an important process for the production of intermediate mass elements. The $E_{\text{cm}} =…
Search for 28Si cluster states through the 12C+16O radiative capture
S. Courtin, A. Goasduff, F. Haas +5
The 12C+16O resonant radiative capture reaction has been studied at 5 bombarding energies between Elab = 15.4 and 21.4 MeV, around the Coulomb barrier, at the Triumf laboratory (Va…
C+O sub-barrier radiative capture cross-section measurements
A. Goasduff, S. Courtin, F. Haas +11
We have performed a heavy ion radiative capture reaction between two light heavy ions, C and O, leading to Si. The present experiment has been performed below…
Direct measurements of 22Na(p,g)23Mg resonances and consequences for 22Na production in classical novae
A. L. Sallaska, C. Wrede, A. Garcia +9
The radionuclide 22Na is a potential astronomical observable that is expected to be produced in classical novae in quantities that depend on the thermonuclear rate of the 22Na(p,g)…

A. L. Sallaska, C. Wrede, A. Garcia +10
Gamma-ray telescopes in orbit around the Earth are searching for evidence of the elusive radionuclide 22Na produced in novae. Previously published uncertainties in the dominant des…
Charge symmetry breaking in n p --> d pi^0
A. K. Opper, E. Korkmaz, D. A. Hutcheon +12
The forward--backward asymmetry in n p --> d pi^0, which must be zero in the center-of-mass system if charge symmetry is respected, has been measured to be [17.2 +/- 8 (stat) +/- 5…
