Elastic scattering of 3He+4He with SONIK

S. N. Paneru, C. R. Brune, D. Connolly +22

Measurements of the elastic scattering cross section of 3He and 4He are important in order to improve constraints on theoretical models of 4He(3He,g)7Be, a key reaction in Big Bang…

First application of Markov Chain Monte Carlo-based Bayesian data analysis to the Doppler-Shift Attenuation Method

L. J. Sun, C. Fry, B. Davids +31

Motivated primarily by the large uncertainties in the thermonuclear rate of the PS reaction that limit our understanding of classical novae, we carried out lifet…

Limits on the Existence of sub-MeV Sterile Neutrinos from the Decay of Be in Superconducting Quantum Sensors

S. Friedrich, G. B. Kim, C. Bray +14

Sterile neutrinos are natural extensions to the standard model of particle physics and provide a possible portal to the dark sector. We report a new search for the existence of sub…
