First Proton-Induced Cross Sections on a Stored Rare Ion Beam: Measurement of 118Te(p,γ) for Explosive Nucleosynthesis

F. Dellmann, J. Glorius, Yu. A. Litvinov +75

We present the first nuclear cross-section measurements of (p,γ) and (p,n) reactions on 118Te at energies relevant for the γ-process nucleosynthesis. Absolute cross-section values…

Half-life determination of heavy ions in a storage ring considering feeding and depleting background processes

R. J. Chen, G. Leckenby, R. S. Sidhu +49

Heavy-ion storage rings have relatively large momentum acceptance which allows for multiple ion species to circulate at the same time. This needs to be considered in radioactive de…
