Uncertainties in the production of iron-group nuclides in core-collapse supernovae from Monte Carlo variations of reaction rates
Nobuya Nishimura, Carla Froehlich, Thomas Rauscher
Core-collapse supernovae, occurring at the end of massive star evolution, produce heavy elements, including those in the iron peak. Although the explosion mechanism is not yet full…
The origin of correlation between mass and angle in quasi-fission
S. Amano, Y. Aritomo, S. Ishizaki +2
Mass-angle distribution (MAD) measurement of heavy and superheavy element fragmentation reactions is one of the powerful tools for investigating the mechanism of fission and fusion…
Postfission properties of uranium isotopes: A hybrid method with Langevin dynamics and the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model
Shyoya Tanaka, Nobuya Nishimura, Futoshi Minato +1
Background: Precise understanding of nuclear fission is crucial for experimental and theoretical nuclear physics, astrophysics, and industrial applications; however, the complete p…
Impacts of the direct URCA and Superfluidity inside a Neutron Star on Type-I X-Ray Bursts and X-Ray Superbursts
Akira Dohi, Nobuya Nishimura, Hajime Sotani +4
We investigate the impacts of neutrino cooling mechanism inside the neutron star (NS) core on the light curves of type-I X-ray bursts and X-ray superbursts. From several observatio…
New constraints on the neutron-star mass and radius relation from terrestrial nuclear experiments
Hajime Sotani, Nobuya Nishimura, Tomoya Naito
The determination of the equation of state (EOS) for nuclear matter has been one of the biggest problems in nuclear astrophysics, because the EOS is essential for determining the p…
First Direct Measurement of an Astrophysical p-Process Reaction Cross Section Using a Radioactive Ion Beam
G. Lotay, S. A. Gillespie, M. Williams +35
We have performed the first direct measurement of the 83Rb(p,g) radiative capture reaction cross section in inverse kinematics using a radioactive beam of 83Rb at incident energies…
