O(p,)F Reaction and the C and O Isotopic Ratios in Red Giant Branch Stars

D. Robb, P. McGlynn, M. Aliotta +55

The O/O isotopic ratio is a widely used tracer of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes in red giant stars. Its value depends on the rates of the proton-capture reacti…

Uncertainty quantified three-body model applied to the two-neutron halo C

Patrick McGlynn, Chloë Hebborn

Two-neutron halo nuclei offer a fascinating probe into the behaviour of quantum few-body systems at the limits of binding. Although few nuclei have already been clearly identified,…

Development of an accurate formalism to predict properties of two-neutron halo nuclei: case study of C

Patrick McGlynn, Chloë Hebborn

When moving away from stability or in loosely-bound systems, few-body clusterized structures like two-neutron halo nuclei appear. These emerge from the interplay between the many-…

Paths to Superheavy Nuclei

K. Godbey, F. M. Nunes, M. Albertsson +16

This document summarizes the discussions and outcomes of the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA) topical program "The path to Superheavy Isotopes" held in Jun…

Shell effects in quasi-fission for calcium induced reactions forming thorium isotopes

C. Simenel, A. S. Umar, K. Godbey +1

Quantum shell effects induce an asymmetric fission mode in actinides, which disappears in neutron deficient isotopes. Quasi-fission, characterized by a significant mass transfer in…

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…
