Measuring the cross section of the N(,)F reaction using a single-fluid bubble chamber

D. Neto, K. Bailey, J. F. Benesch +17

N(,)F is believed to be the primary means of stellar nucleosynthesis of fluorine. Here we present the use of a single-fluid bubble chamber to measure the cross…

Study of the Mg waiting point relevant for x-ray burst nucleosynthesis via the Mg(,)Al reaction

H. Jayatissa, M. L. Avila, K. E. Rehm +13

The Mg(,)Al reaction rate has been identified as a major source of uncertainty for understanding the nucleosynthesis flow in Type-I x-ray bursts (XRBs). We repo…

Detection of atomic nuclear reaction products via optical imaging

Benjamin Loseth, Ruoyu Fang, Dustin Frisbie +4

In this paper we propose a new method for measuring the cross section of low yield nuclear reactions by capturing the products in a cryogenically frozen noble gas solid. Once embed…

Independent measurement of the Hoyle state feeding from 12B using Gammasphere

M. Munch, M. Alcorta, H. O. U. Fynbo +28

Using an array of high-purity Compton-suppressed germanium detectors, we performed an independent measurement of the -decay branching ratio from to the second-…
