E. Lopez-Saavedra, M. L. Avila, W. -J. Ong +20
The CuNi reaction plays an important role in explosive astrophysical scenarios such as Type I X-ray bursts and the -process in neutrino-driven winds follow…
Direct Measurement of the CuNi Excitation Function to Constrain the Ni--Cu Cycle Strength and Its Impact on Explosive Nucleosynthesis
E. Lopez-Saavedra, M. L. Avila, W. -J. Ong +21
A new direct measurement of the 59Cu(p,a)56Ni excitation function from 2.43-5.88 MeV in the center-of-mass was performed in inverse kinematics using the high-efficiency MUSIC activ…
Study of the Ar()K reaction rate via proton scattering on K, and its impact on properties of modeled X-Ray bursts
A. Lauer-Coles, C. M. Deibel, J. C. Blackmon +21
Background: Type I X-Ray bursts (XRBs) are energetic stellar explosions that occur on the surface of a neutron star in an accreting binary system with a low-mass H/He-rich companio…
Object Detection with Deep Learning for Rare Event Search in the GADGET II TPC
Tyler Wheeler, S. Ravishankar, C. Wrede +50
In the pursuit of identifying rare two-particle events within the GADGET II Time Projection Chamber (TPC), this paper presents a comprehensive approach for leveraging Convolutional…
