O(p,)F Reaction and the C and O Isotopic Ratios in Red Giant Branch Stars

D. Robb, P. McGlynn, M. Aliotta +55

The O/O isotopic ratio is a widely used tracer of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes in red giant stars. Its value depends on the rates of the proton-capture reacti…

Revised V()Cr reaction rate and its impact on the production of Ti in core-collapse supernovae

R. S. Sidhu, Y. Luo, C. Sarma +2

The thermonuclear V()Cr reaction is the primary leakage pathway from the Ti--V quasi-equilibrium cluster during -rich freeze-out in core-collaps…

Improved -factor of the C(p,)N reaction at 330-740 keV and parameters of resonances at 448 keV and 551 keV

J. Skowronski, E. Masha, D. Piatti +23

The C(p,)N reaction is the second reaction of the CNO cycle. This cycle takes place in our Sun and fuels massive, Red, and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars. The $^{13…

Improved direct measurement of low-energy resonances in the Ne(p,)Na reaction

R. S. Sidhu, F. Casaburo, E. Masha +57

In the nova temperature range, 0.1 GK 0.4 GK, several low-energy resonances dominate the Ne(p,)Na reaction rate, which is currently affected by large uncer…

A Comparative Analysis of R-Matrix Fitting: CN as Test Case

J. Skowronski, D. Piatti, D. Rapagnani +49

In nuclear astrophysics, the accurate determination of nuclear reaction cross sections at astrophysical energies is critical for understanding stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis…

First measurement of 87Rb(α, xn) cross sections at weak r-process energies in supernova ν-driven ejecta to investigate elemental abundances in low-metallicity stars

C. Fougères, M. L. Avila, A. Psaltis +18

Observed abundances of Z ~ 40 elements in metal-poor stars vary from star to star, indicating that the rapid and slow neutron capture processes may not contribute alone to the synt…

Strength measurement of the = 830 keV resonance in reaction using a stilbene detector

Shahina, R. J. deBoer, J. Gorres +13

The interplay between the NeMg and the competing NeMg reactions determines the efficiency of the latter as a neutron source at the temperature…

First measurement of the low-energy direct capture in 20Ne(p, γ)21Na and improved energy and strength of the Ecm = 368 keV resonance

E. Masha, L. Barbieri, J. Skowronski +48

The reaction is the slowest in the NeNa cycle and directly affects the abundances of the Ne and Na isotopes in a variety of astrophysical sites. Her…
