O(p,)F Reaction and the C and O Isotopic Ratios in Red Giant Branch Stars

D. Robb, P. McGlynn, M. Aliotta +55

The O/O isotopic ratio is a widely used tracer of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes in red giant stars. Its value depends on the rates of the proton-capture reacti…

Improved direct measurement of low-energy resonances in the Ne(p,)Na reaction

R. S. Sidhu, F. Casaburo, E. Masha +57

In the nova temperature range, 0.1 GK 0.4 GK, several low-energy resonances dominate the Ne(p,)Na reaction rate, which is currently affected by large uncer…

A Comparative Analysis of R-Matrix Fitting: CN as Test Case

J. Skowronski, D. Piatti, D. Rapagnani +49

In nuclear astrophysics, the accurate determination of nuclear reaction cross sections at astrophysical energies is critical for understanding stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis…

First direct measurement of the 64.5 keV resonance strength in O(p,)F reaction

R. M. Gesuè, G. F. Ciani, D. Piatti +50

The CNO cycle is one of the most important nuclear energy sources in stars. At temperatures of hydrostatic H-burning (20 MK T 80 MK) the O(p,)F reaction ra…

Direct measurement of the 13C(α,n)16O cross section into the s-process Gamow peak

G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, D. Rapagnani +45

One of the main neutron sources for the astrophysical s-process is the reaction 13C(α,n)16O, taking place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars at temperatures around…
