Sensitivity of the r-process to nuclear masses
S. Brett, I. Bentley, N. Paul +2
The rapid neutron capture process (r-process) is thought to be responsible for the creation of more than half of all elements beyond iron. The scientific challenges to understandin…
Neutrino oscillations above black hole accretion disks: disks with electron-flavor emission
A. Malkus, J. P. Kneller, G. C. McLaughlin +1
Black hole accretion disks can form through the collapse of rotating massive stars. These disks produce large numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos of electron flavor that can inf…
The Influence Of Neutron Capture Rates On The Rare Earth Region Of The r-Process Abundance Pattern
M. R. Mumpower, G. C. McLaughlin, R. A. Surman
We study the sensitivity of the r-process abundance pattern to neutron capture rates along the rare earth region (A~150 to A~180). We introduce the concepts of large nuclear flow a…
The Rare Earth Peak : An Overlooked r-Process Diagnostic
M. Mumpower, G. McLaughlin, R. Surman
The astrophysical site or sites responsible for the r-process of nucleosynthesis still remains an enigma. Since the rare earth region is formed in the latter stages of the r-proces…
