Direct cross-section measurement of the weak r-process 88Sr(α,n)91Zr reaction in ν-driven winds of core collapse supernovae
C. Fougères, M. L. Avila, H. Jayatissa +15
About half of the heavy elements beyond iron are known to be produced by the rapid neutron capture process, known as r-process. However, the astrophysical site producing the r-proc…
Measuring the cross section of the N(,)F reaction using a single-fluid bubble chamber
D. Neto, K. Bailey, J. F. Benesch +17
N(,)F is believed to be the primary means of stellar nucleosynthesis of fluorine. Here we present the use of a single-fluid bubble chamber to measure the cross…
First direct measurement of the N(,)O reaction relevant for core-collapse supernovae nucleosynthesis
H. Jayatissa, M. L. Avila, K. E. Rehm +10
Understanding the explosion mechanism of a core-collapse supernova (CCSN) is important to accurately model CCSN scenarios for different progenitor stars using model-observation com…
Near-Earth Supernova Explosions: Evidence, Implications, and Opportunities
Brian D. Fields, John R. Ellis, Walter R. Binns +36
There is now solid experimental evidence of at least one supernova explosion within 100 pc of Earth within the last few million years, from measurements of the short-lived isotope…
Stellar ArAr reactions and their effect on light neutron-rich nuclide synthesis
M. Tessler, M. Paul, S. Halfon +22
The ArAr ( = 35 d) and ArAr (269 y) reactions were studied for the first time with a quasi-Maxwellian ( keV) neutron flux…
Study of the astrophysically important and reactions
M. L. Avila, K. E. Rehm, S. Almaraz-Calderon +11
The NaMg and NaAl reactions are important for our understanding of the Al abundance in massive stars. The aim of this work is to report…
