Nuclear Physics Mid Term Plan at LNGS
R. Buompane, F. Cavanna, C. Curceanu +59
The Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare-Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is one of the largest underground physics laboratory, a very peculiar environment suited for ex…
Improved -factor of the C(p,)N reaction at 330-740 keV and parameters of resonances at 448 keV and 551 keV
J. Skowronski, E. Masha, D. Piatti +23
The C(p,)N reaction is the second reaction of the CNO cycle. This cycle takes place in our Sun and fuels massive, Red, and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars. The $^{13…
A prototype neutron-detector array for future deep-underground s-process studies
Thomas Chillery, David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna +12
We report a novel neutron-detection approach employing an EJ-309 liquid scintillator surrounded by six 3He proportional counters. Tests were performed at the FRANZ facility of the…
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…
SHADES -- Ne(,n)Mg reaction rate in the Gamow window
David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna, Antonino Di Leva +4
Neutron capture reactions are the main contributors to the synthesis of the heavy elements through the s-process. Together with C(,n)16O, which has recently been measured…
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…
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…
The Ne(,n)Mg reaction -- state of the art, astrophysics, and perspectives
Andreas Best, Philip Adsley, Ryan Amberger +11
One of the most important stellar neutron sources is the Ne(,n)Mg reaction, which gets activated both during the helium intershell burning in asymptotic giant bran…
Total cross section of N+ from 0.1 to 12~MeV
R. J. deBoer, R. Arquette, D. Bemmerer +18
The reaction NC is one of the main neutron poisons during -process nucleosynthesis. In addition, the reaction provides insight into the yields of atmospheric…
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…
