Bubble Chambers for Experiments in Nuclear Astrophysics
B. DiGiovine, D. Henderson, R. J. Holt +7
A bubble chamber has been developed to be used as an active target system for low energy nuclear astrophysics experiments. Adopting ideas from dark matter detection with superheate…
Fusion-Fission of 16O+197Au at Sub-Barrier Energies
B. B. Back, C. L. Jiang, R. V. F. Janssens +9
The recent discovery of heavy-ion fusion hindrance at far sub-barrier energies has focused much attention on both experimental and theoretical studies of this phenomenon. Most of t…
The 40Ca(alpha,gamma)44Ti reaction in the energy regime of supernova nucleosynthesis
H. Nassar, M. Paul, I. Ahmad +20
The 44Ti(t1/2 = 59 y) nuclide, an important signature of supernova nucleosynthesis, has recently been observed as live radioactivity by gamma-ray astronomy from the Cas A remnant.…
Hindrance of Heavy-ion Fusion at Extreme Sub-Barrier Energies in Open-shell Colliding Systems
C. L. Jiang, K. E. Rehm, H. Esbensen +18
The excitation function for the fusion-evaporation reaction 64Ni+100Mo has been measured down to a cross-section of ~5 nb. Extensive coupled-channels calculations have been perform…
Laser Spectroscopic Determination of the 6He Nuclear Charge Radius
L. -B. Wang, P. Mueller, K. Bailey +12
We have performed precision laser spectroscopy on individual 6He (t1/2 = 0.8 s) atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap, and measured the isotope shift between 6He and…
The stellar (n,gamma) cross section of 62Ni
H. Nassar, M. Paul, I. Ahmad +23
The 62Ni(n,gamma)63Ni(t_1/2=100+-2 yrs) reaction plays an important role in the control of the flow path of the slow neutron-capture (s-) nucleosynthesis process. We have measured…
