High precision proton angular distribution measurements of C(p,p') for determination of the decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state
K. J. Cook, A. Chevis, T. K. Eriksen +14
Background: In stars, carbon is produced exclusively via the process, where three particles fuse to form C in the excited Hoyle state, which can then decay to the g…
Improved precision on the experimental E0 decay branching ratio of the Hoyle state
T. K. Eriksen, T. Kibédi, M. W. Reed +35
Stellar carbon synthesis occurs exclusively via the process, in which three particles fuse to form C in the excited Hoyle state, followed by electromagnetic decay t…
Exploring Zeptosecond Quantum Equilibration Dynamics: From Deep-Inelastic to Fusion-Fission Outcomes in Ni+Ni Reactions
E. Williams, K. Sekizawa, D. J. Hinde +10
Energy dissipative processes play a key role in how quantum many-body systems dynamically evolve towards equilibrium. In closed quantum systems, such processes are attributed to th…
Evidence for the role of proton shell closure in quasi-fission reactions from X-ray fluorescence of mass-identified fragments
M. Morjean, D. J. Hinde, C. Simenel +14
The atomic numbers and the masses of fragments formed in quasi-fission reactions have been simultaneously measured at scission in 48 Ti + 238 U reactions at a laboratory energy of…
Entrance Channel Effects on the Quasifission Reaction Channel in Cr + W Systems
K. Hammerton, D. J. Morrissey, Z. Kohley +14
Background: Formation of a fully equilibrated compound nucleus is a critical step in the heavy-ion fusion reaction mechanism but can be hindered by orders of magnitude by quasifiss…
Importance of lifetime effects in breakup and suppression of complete fusion in reactions of weakly bound nuclei
K. J. Cook, E. C. Simpson, D. H. Luong +3
Complete fusion cross sections in collisions of light, weakly bound nuclei and high Z targets show above-barrier suppression of complete fusion. This has been interpreted as result…
