Constraining the Neutron Star Compactness: Extraction of the Al() Reaction Rate for the -Process
C. Wolf, C. Langer, F. Montes +33
The Al()Si reaction is among the most important reactions driving the energy generation in Type-I X-ray bursts. However, the present reaction-rate uncertainty li…
Time-of-flight mass measurements of neutron-rich chromium isotopes up to N = 40 and implications for the accreted neutron star crust
Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +29
We present the mass excesses of 59-64Cr, obtained from recent time-of-flight nuclear mass measurements at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State Univer…
First measurement of several -delayed neutron emitting isotopes beyond N=126
R. Caballero-Folch, C. Domingo-Pardo, J. Agramunt +62
The -delayed neutron emission probabilities of neutron rich Hg and Tl nuclei have been measured together with -decay half-lives for 20 isotopes of Au, Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi in th…
Mass measurement of 56Sc reveals a small A=56 odd-even mass staggering, implying a cooler accreted neutron star crust
Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +29
We present the mass excesses of 52-57Sc, obtained from recent time-of-flight nuclear mass measurements at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State Univer…
Mass Measurements Demonstrate a Strong N =28 Shell Gap in Argon
Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +28
We present results from recent time-of-flight nuclear mass measurements at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. We report the first mass…
Beta-delayed proton emission in the 100Sn region
G. Lorusso, A. Becerril, A. Amthor +25
Beta-delayed proton emission from nuclides in the neighborhood of 100Sn was studied at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The nuclei were produced by fragmentation…
Beta-decay of nuclei around Se-90. Search for signatures of a N=56 sub-shell closure relevant the r-process
M. Quinn, A. Aprahamian, J. Pereira +26
Nuclear structure plays a significant role on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) since shapes evolve with the emergence of shells and sub-shells. There was some indicati…
High-spin μs isomeric states in 96Ag
A. D. Becerril, G. Lorusso, A. M. Amthor +24
The isomeric and β decays of the N = Z +2 nucleus 96Ag were investigated at NSCL. A cascade of γ-ray transitions originating from the de-excitation of a μs isomer was observed for…
Half-lives and branchings for β-delayed neutron emission for neutron-rich Co-Cu isotopes in the r-process
P. Hosmer, H. Schatz, A. Aprahamian +23
The β decays of very neutron-rich nuclides in the Co-Zn region were studied experimentally at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory using the NSCL β-counting station in…
The neutron long counter NERO for studies of beta-delayed neutron emission in the r-process
J. Pereira, P. Hosmer, G. Lorusso +23
The neutron long counter NERO was built at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL), Michigan State University, for measuring beta-delayed neutron-emission probabil…
Beta decay studies of r-process nuclei at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory
J. Pereira, A. Aprahamian, O. Arndt +22
The impact of nuclear physics on astrophysical r-process models is discussed, emphasizing the importance of beta-decay properties of neutron-rich nuclei. Several r-process motivate…
Production and decay of rp-process nuclei Cd, In and Sn
D. Bazin
The -decay properties of the N=Z nuclei Cd, In and Sn have been studied. These nuclei were produced at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (N…
Half Life of the Doubly-magic r-Process Nucleus 78Ni
P. T. Hosmer, H. Schatz, A. Aprahamian +19
Nuclei with magic numbers serve as important benchmarks in nuclear theory. In addition, neutron-rich nuclei play an important role in the astrophysical rapid neutron-capture proces…
