First direct measurement constraining the Ar(,p)K reaction cross section for mixed hydrogen and helium burning in accreting neutron stars

J. Browne, K. A. Chipps, K. Schmidt +25

The rate of the final step in the astrophysical p-process, the Ar(,\textit{p})K reaction, suffers from large uncertainties due to lack of experimental data, des…

Remeasuring the anomalously enhanced in

S. L. Henderson, T. Ahn, P. J. Fasano +14

The large reported strength between the ground state and first excited state of $\isotope[8]{Li}$, $B(E2; 2^+ \rightarrow 1^+)= 55(15)\,e^2\fm^4$, presents a puzzl…

Nuclear Mass Measurements Map the Structure of Atomic Nuclei and Accreting Neutron Stars

Z. Meisel, S. George, S. Ahn +28

We present mass excesses (ME) of neutron-rich isotopes of Ar through Fe, obtained via TOF- mass spectrometry at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. Our new resul…

New -ray Transitions Observed in Ne with Implications for the O(,)Ne Reaction Rate

M. R. Hall, D. W. Bardayan, T. Baugher +34

The O(,)Ne reaction is responsible for breakout from the hot CNO cycle in Type I x-ray bursts. Understanding the properties of resonances between and…

Key Ne states identified affecting -ray emission from F in novae

M. R. Hall, D. W. Barbadian, T. Baugher +34

Detection of nuclear-decay rays provides a sensitive thermometer of nova nucleosynthesis. The most intense -ray flux is thought to be annihilation radiation from the d…

Towards Neutron Capture on Exotic Nuclei: Demonstrating as a Surrogate Reaction for

A. Ratkiewicz, J. A. Cizewski, J. E. Escher +15

The neutron-capture reaction plays a critical role in the synthesis of the elements in stars and is important for societal applications including nuclear power generation and stock…
