Direct measurement of F()Ne cross sections with ANASEN

K. S. Davis, J. C. Blackmon, C. M. Deibel +21

The F()Ne reaction may impact Asymptotic Giant Branch nucleosynthesis and helium burning on accreting white dwarfs. This reaction has never been directly measure…

Direct Measurement of the CuNi Excitation Function to Constrain the Ni--Cu Cycle Strength and Its Impact on Explosive Nucleosynthesis

E. Lopez-Saavedra, M. L. Avila, W. -J. Ong +21

A new direct measurement of the 59Cu(p,a)56Ni excitation function from 2.43-5.88 MeV in the center-of-mass was performed in inverse kinematics using the high-efficiency MUSIC activ…

Study of the Ar()K reaction rate via proton scattering on K, and its impact on properties of modeled X-Ray bursts

A. Lauer-Coles, C. M. Deibel, J. C. Blackmon +21

Background: Type I X-Ray bursts (XRBs) are energetic stellar explosions that occur on the surface of a neutron star in an accreting binary system with a low-mass H/He-rich companio…
