First Nb() Measurement: Constraining the Nucleosynthetic Origin of Mo in Presolar Grains
J. Balibrea-Correa, J. Lerendegui-Marco, C. Domingo-Pardo +136
Isotopic measurements of presolar silicon carbide grains from dying stars have revealed a puzzling overabundance of Mo that stellar nucleosynthesis models have failed to rep…
Experiments towards a neutron target for measurements in inverse kinematics
S. F. Dellmann, C. M. Harrington, O. R. Cantrell +28
Neutron-induced reactions play an important role in fundamental nuclear physics, nuclear astrophysics, and applications. In the case of reactions on rare isotopes, there are limite…

First simultaneous measurement of the gamma-ray and neutron emission probabilities in inverse kinematics at a heavy-ion storage ring
M. Sguazzin, B. Jurado, J. Pibernat +50
The probabilities for gamma-ray and particle emission as a function of the excitation energy of a decaying nucleus are valuable observables for constraining the ingredients of the…
Measurement of the Isolated Nuclear Two-Photon Decay in
D. Freire-Fernández, W. Korten, R. J. Chen +57
The nuclear two-photon or double-gamma () decay is a second-order electromagnetic process whereby a nucleus in an excited state emits two gamma rays simultaneously. To be able…
