Detector characterization for a new C+C reaction study at LUNA
R. M. Gesùè, S. Turkat, J. Skowroński +50
The C+C fusion reaction plays a crucial role in stellar evolution, including the occurrence of supernova explosions, and in the synthesis of the chemical elements. Ho…
Exploring Stars in Underground Laboratories: Challenges and Solutions
Marialuisa Aliotta, Axel Boeltzig, Rosanna Depalo +1
For millennia, mankind has been fascinated by the marvel of the starry night sky. Yet, a proper scientific understanding of how stars form, shine, and die is a relatively recent ac…
Underground nuclear astrophysics: Status and recent results from Felsenkeller laboratory
Eliana Masha, Daniel Bemmerer, Axel Boeltzig +4
For almost three decades it has been known that the study of astro-physically important nuclear reactions between stable nuclei requires the use of low-background, underground acce…
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…
The Felsenkeller shallow-underground laboratory for nuclear astrophysics
Daniel Bemmerer, Axel Boeltzig, Marcel Grieger +12
In the Felsenkeller shallow-underground site, protected from cosmic muons by a 45 m thick rock overburden, a research laboratory including a 5 MV Pelletron ion accelerator and a nu…
Ne and Na ejecta from intermediate-mass stars: The impact of the new LUNA rate for Ne(p,)Na
A. Slemer, P. Marigo, D. Piatti +36
We investigate the impact of the new LUNA rate for the nuclear reaction NeNa on the chemical ejecta of intermediate-mass stars, with particular focus on the ther…
