First measurement of the low-energy direct capture in 20Ne(p, γ)21Na and improved energy and strength of the Ecm = 368 keV resonance
E. Masha, L. Barbieri, J. Skowronski +48
The reaction is the slowest in the NeNa cycle and directly affects the abundances of the Ne and Na isotopes in a variety of astrophysical sites. Her…
Direct measurement of the 13C(α,n)16O cross section into the s-process Gamow peak
G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, D. Rapagnani +45
One of the main neutron sources for the astrophysical s-process is the reaction 13C(α,n)16O, taking place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars at temperatures around…
Setup commissioning for an improved measurement of the D(p,gamma)3He cross section at Big Bang Nucleosynthesis energies
V. Mossa, K. Stöckel, F. Cavanna +44
Among the reactions involved in the production and destruction of deuterium during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the deuterium-burning D(p,gamma)3He reaction has the largest uncertaint…
A new approach to monitor 13C-targets degradation in situ for 13C(alpha,n)16O cross-section measurements at LUNA
G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, J. Balibrea-Correa +46
Direct measurements of reaction cross-sections at astrophysical energies often require the use of solid targets able to withstand high ion beam currents for extended periods of tim…
Direct capture cross section and the = 71 and 105 keV resonances in the Ne()Na reaction
F. Ferraro, M. P. Takács, D. Piatti +41
The Ne()Na reaction, part of the neon-sodium cycle of hydrogen burning, may explain the observed anticorrelation between sodium and oxygen abundances in globular…
A high-efficiency gas target setup for underground experiments, and redetermination of the branching ratio of the 189.5 keV resonance
F. Ferraro, M. P. Takács, D. Piatti +42
The experimental study of nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest is greatly facilitated by a low-background, high-luminosity setup. The Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astr…
