Beyond Sphericity in a Semi-Magic Nucleus: Multiple-Shape Coexistence in Sn
Marco Siciliano, Marco Rocchini, Tomás R. RodrÃguez +43
The study of nuclear shape evolution and coexistence provides key insight into the nuclear interaction, particularly in semi-magic systems expected to be spherical. A high-precisio…
Detector characterization for a new C+C reaction study at LUNA
R. M. Gesùè, S. Turkat, J. SkowroÅski +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…
Advances in Radiative Capture Studies at LUNA with a Segmented BGO Detector
Jakub Skowronski, Riccardo Maria Gesuè, Axel Boeltzig +43
Studies of charged-particle reactions for low-energy nuclear astrophysics require high sensitivity, which can be achieved by means of detection setups with high efficiency and low…
Status and future directions for direct cross-section measurements of the 13C(a,n)16O reaction for astrophysics
L. Csedreki, Gy. Gyürky, D. Rapagnani +45
The 13C(a,n)16O reaction is the main neutron source of the s-process taking place in thermally pulsing AGB stars and it is one of the main candidate sources of neutrons for the i-p…
Fusion of 12C+28Si at deep sub-barrier energies
A. M. Stefanini, G. Montagnoli, M. Del Fabbro +97
The existence of fusion hindrance is not well established in light heavy-ion systems. Studying slightly heavier cases allows extrapolating the trend to light systems of astrophysic…
Direct proton transfer on Ar supports the presence of a charge density bubble linked to a novel nuclear structure below Ca
Daniele Brugnara, Andrea Gottardo, Marlene Assiè +76
The Ar(He,d)K reaction was performed in inverse kinematics using a radioactive Ar beam produced by the SPIRAL1 facility at GANIL and a cryogenic He t…
