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…
Status and future directions for direct cross-section measurements of the 13C(a,n)16O reaction for astrophysics
L. Csedreki, Gy. Gyürky, D. Rapagnani +45
The 13C(a,n)16O reaction is the main neutron source of the s-process taking place in thermally pulsing AGB stars and it is one of the main candidate sources of neutrons for the i-p…
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…
The Ne(,n)Mg reaction -- state of the art, astrophysics, and perspectives
Andreas Best, Philip Adsley, Ryan Amberger +11
One of the most important stellar neutron sources is the Ne(,n)Mg reaction, which gets activated both during the helium intershell burning in asymptotic giant bran…
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…
