First inverse kinematics measurement of resonances in Be()C relevant to neutrino-driven wind nucleosynthesis using DRAGON
A. Psaltis, A. A. Chen, R. Longland +18
A possible mechanism to explain the origin of the light -nuclei in the Galaxy is the nucleosynthesis in the proton-rich neutrino-driven wind ejecta of core-collapse supernovae v…
Direct measurement of resonances in Be()C relevant to -process nucleosynthesis
A. Psaltis, A. A. Chen, R. Longland +18
We have performed the first direct measurement of two resonances of the Be()C reaction with unknown strengths using an intense radioactive Be beam and the DRAGO…
New experimental Na()Mg Reaction Rate for Massive Star and Type-Ia Supernova models
N. J. Hubbard, C. Aa. Diget, S. P. Fox +8
The Na()Mg reaction has been identified as having a significant impact on the nucleosynthesis of several nuclei between Ne and Ti in type-Ia supernovae, and of $…
Sub-threshold states in Ne relevant to F(p,)O
J. E. Riley, A. M. Laird, N. de Séréville +24
Classical novae result from thermonuclear explosions producing several -ray emitters which are prime targets for satellites observing in the MeV range. The early 511 keV gamma-r…
First measurement of S+ resonant elastic scattering for the S(,p) reaction rate
D. Kahl, H. Yamaguchi, S. Kubono +20
Background: Type I x-ray bursts are the most frequent thermonuclear explosions in the galaxy, resulting from thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an accreting neutron star. The…
Discovery of ClAr resonances activated at classical nova temperatures
C. Fry, C. Wrede, S. Bishop +9
Background: The thermonuclear Cl()Ar reaction rates are unknown due to a lack of experimental nuclear physics data. Uncertainties in these rates translate to…
Production of 26Al in stellar hydrogen-burning environments: spectroscopic properties of states in 27Si
A. Parikh, K. Wimmer, T. Faestermann +11
Model predictions of the amount of the radioisotope 26Al produced in hydrogen-burning environments require reliable estimates of the thermonuclear rates for the 26gAl(p,γ)27Si and…
New 34Cl proton-threshold states and the thermonuclear 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate in ONe novae
A. Parikh, T. Faestermann, R. Hertenberger +12
Analysis of presolar grains in primitive meteorites has shown isotopic ratios largely characteristic of the conditions thought to prevail in various astrophysical environments. A p…
Nuclear Structure Relevant to Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay: 76Ge and 76Se
J. P. Schiffer, S. J. Freeman, J. A. Clark +13
The possibility of observing neutrinoless double beta decay offers the opportunity of determining the neutrino mass IF the nuclear matrix element were known. Theoretical calculatio…
Experimental evidence of a natural parity state in Mg and its impact to the production of neutrons for the s process
C. Ugalde, A. E. Champagne, S. Daigle +9
We have studied natural parity states in Mg via the Ne(Li,d)Mg reaction. Our method significantly improves the energy resolution of previous experiments…
High-j single-particle neutron states outside the N=82 core
B. P. Kay, S. J. Freeman, J. P. Schiffer +5
The behaviour of the i13/2 and h9/2 single-neutron strength was studied with the (4He,3He) reaction on 138Ba, 140Ce, 142Nd and 144Sm targets at a beam energy of 51 MeV. The separat…
Pair correlations in nuclei involved in neutrinoless double beta decay: 76Ge and 76Se
S. J. Freeman, J. P. Schiffer, A. C. C. Villari +14
Precision measurements were carried out to test the similarities between the ground states of 76Ge and 76Se. The extent to which these two nuclei can be characterized as consisting…
Particle decay branching ratios for states of astrophysical importance in 19Ne
D. W. Visser, J. A. Caggiano, R. Lewis +3
We have measured proton and alpha-particle branching ratios of excited states in 19Ne formed using the 19F(3He,t) reaction at a beam energy of 25 MeV. These ratios have a large imp…
