Single-particle shell strengths near the doubly magic nucleus ${}^{56}$Ni and the ${}^{56}$Ni(p,$\gamma$)${}^{57}$Cu reaction rate in explosive astrophysical burning

D. Kahl, P. J. Woods, T. Poxon-Pearson +24

Angle-integrated cross-section measurements of the ${}^{56}$Ni(d,n) and (d,p) stripping reactions have been performed to determine the single-particle strengths of low-lying excited…
