Implications for Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis from an Experimentally Constrained ON Reaction Rate

M. Alruwaili, C. Fougeres, A. M. Laird +13

The ON reaction plays a key role in shaping the -particle abundance during explosive oxygen burning in Type Ia supernovae. By enhancing -production, this r…

Direct transfer to K as a survey of the interaction

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

The collapse of the canonical magic number in nuclei with has drawn significant interest as it relates to the emergence of an island of inversion centered on S…

First experimental determination of the Ar()Ar reaction cross section and Ar production in Earth's atmosphere

S. Bhattacharya, M. Paul, R. N. Sahoo +28

The cosmogenic Ar(t= 268 years) isotope of argon is used for geophysical dating and tracing owing to its appropriate half-life and chemical inertness as a noble gas;…

First measurement of 87Rb(α, xn) cross sections at weak r-process energies in supernova ν-driven ejecta to investigate elemental abundances in low-metallicity stars

C. Fougères, M. L. Avila, A. Psaltis +18

Observed abundances of Z ~ 40 elements in metal-poor stars vary from star to star, indicating that the rapid and slow neutron capture processes may not contribute alone to the synt…

Meaurement of spin vs. TKE of Ba produced in spontaneous fission of Cf

N. P. Giha, S. Marin, I. A. Tolstukhin +21

We measure the average spin of Ba, a common fragment produced in Cf(sf), as a function of the total kinetic energy (TKE). We combined for the first time a twin Fris…

Probing exotic cross-shell interactions at N=28 with single-neutron transfer on 47K

C. J. Paxman, A. Matta, W. N. Catford +76

We present the first measurement of the K()K transfer reaction, performed in inverse kinematics using a reaccelerated beam of K. The level scheme of $^{4…

High-precision spectroscopy of O benchmarking ab-initio calculations in light nuclei

I. Zanon, E. Clément, A. Goasduff +78

The excited states of unstable O were investigated via -ray spectroscopy following the OO reaction at 8 MeV. By exploiting the Doppler Shift Attenua…

Direct cross-section measurement of the weak r-process 88Sr(α,n)91Zr reaction in ν-driven winds of core collapse supernovae

C. Fougères, M. L. Avila, H. Jayatissa +15

About half of the heavy elements beyond iron are known to be produced by the rapid neutron capture process, known as r-process. However, the astrophysical site producing the r-proc…

CATLIFE (Complementary Arm for Target LIke FragmEnts): Spectrometer for Target like fragments at VAMOS++

Y. Son, Y. H. Kim, Y. Cho +16

The multi-nucleon transfer reaction between 136Xe beam and 198Pt target at the beam energy 7 MeV/u was studied using the large acceptance spectrometer VAMOS++ coupled with the newl…

Searching for resonance states in Ne()Na

D. P. Carrasco-Rojas, M. Williams, P. Adsley +16

Background: Globular clusters show strong correlations between different elements, such as the well-known sodium-oxygen anticorrelation. One of the main sources of uncertainty in t…

Search for Na in novae supported by a novel method for measuring femtosecond nuclear lifetimes

C. Fougères, F. de Oliveira Santos, J. José +58

Classical novae are thermonuclear explosions in stellar binary systems, and important sources of Al and Na. While gamma rays from the decay of the former radioisotope…

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…

Understanding the cosmic abundance of Na: lifetime measurements in Mg

C. Fougères, F. de Oliveira Santos, N. A. Smirnova +2

Simulations of explosive nucleosynthesis in novae predict the production of Na, a key astronomical observable to constrain nova models. Its gamma-ray line at 1.275 MeV has n…

Narrow resonances in the continuum of the unbound nucleus F

V. Girard-Alcindor, A. Mercenne, I. Stefan +100

The structure of the unbound F nucleus is investigated using the inverse kinematics resonant scattering of a radioactive O beam impinging on a CH target. The anal…
