Structure Studies of from the Be(d,p) reaction in inverse kinematics on a solid deuteron target

J. Kovoor, K. L. Jones, J. Hooker +42

The low-lying structure of Be has remained an enigma for decades. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies, large inconsistencies remain. Being both unbound, an…

First direct measurement constraining the Ar(,p)K reaction cross section for mixed hydrogen and helium burning in accreting neutron stars

J. Browne, K. A. Chipps, K. Schmidt +25

The rate of the final step in the astrophysical p-process, the Ar(,\textit{p})K reaction, suffers from large uncertainties due to lack of experimental data, des…

Obtaining high resolution excitation functions with an active thick-target approach and validating them with mirror nuclei

S. Hudan, J. E. Johnstone, Rohit Kumar +11

Measurement of fusion excitation functions for stable nuclei has largely been restricted to nuclei with significant natural abundance. Typically, to investigate neighboring nuclei…

Use of Bayesian Optimization to Understand the Structure of Nuclei

J. Hooker, J. Kovoor, K. L. Jones +41

Monte Carlo simulations are widely used in nuclear physics to model experimental systems. In cases where there are significant unknown quantities, such as energies of states, an it…

First Measurement of the Transition Strength in Be: Testing Ab Initio Predictions for Nuclei

S. L. Henderson, T. Ahn, M. A. Caprio +15

Electromagnetic observables are able to give insight into collective and emergent features in nuclei, including nuclear clustering. These observables also provide strong constraint…

Remeasuring the anomalously enhanced in

S. L. Henderson, T. Ahn, P. J. Fasano +14

The large reported strength between the ground state and first excited state of $\isotope[8]{Li}$, $B(E2; 2^+ \rightarrow 1^+)= 55(15)\,e^2\fm^4$, presents a puzzl…

Development of the (d,n) proton-transfer reaction in inverse kinematics for structure studies

K. L. Jones, C. Thornsberry, J. Allen +27

Transfer reactions have provided exciting opportunities to study the structure of exotic nuclei and are often used to inform studies relating to nucleosynthesis and applications. I…
