A prototype neutron-detector array for future deep-underground s-process studies
Thomas Chillery, David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna +12
We report a novel neutron-detection approach employing an EJ-309 liquid scintillator surrounded by six 3He proportional counters. Tests were performed at the FRANZ facility of the…
Detectors and Shieldings: Past and Future at LUNA
Chemseddine Ananna, Lucia Barbieri, Axel Boeltzig +11
Nuclear reactions are responsible for the chemical evolution of stars, galaxies and the Universe. Unfortunately, at temperatures of interest for nuclear astrophysics, the cross-sec…
SHADES -- Ne(,n)Mg reaction rate in the Gamow window
David Rapagnani, Chemseddine Ananna, Antonino Di Leva +4
Neutron capture reactions are the main contributors to the synthesis of the heavy elements through the s-process. Together with C(,n)16O, which has recently been measured…
