Impact of Sub-2.5 MeV 12C+12CResonances on the Production of Elements from C to Pd in Core-Collapse Supernovae
L. Roberti, S. Palmerini, A. Falla +10
We explore the impact of a more efficient 12C+12C reaction on the structure and nucleosynthesis of massive stars. We calculate non-rotating stellar models with initial masses of 15…
Detailed study of non-equilibrium characteristics of quasi-neutral TNSA plasmas
Zhe Zhu, A. Bonasera, D. Batani +26
In an experiment performed in November 2022 at the petawatt (PW) laser facility at Vega III located in Salamanca-Spain, we have studied the successful production of several radiois…
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis results refined via the Trojan Horse Method
Roberta SpartÃ, Rosario Gianluca Pizzone, Livio Lamia +13
This work presents the Trojan Horse Method (THM) as a powerful technique for measuring nuclear reaction cross sections at astrophysical energies. We then explore the impact of THM-…
Solar fusion III: New data and theory for hydrogen-burning stars
B. Acharya, M. Aliotta, A. B. Balantekin +47
In stars that lie on the main sequence in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, like our sun, hydrogen is fused to helium in a number of nuclear reaction chains and series, such as the p…
