Isobaric multiplet mass equation in the quartets
M. B. Bennett, C. Wrede, B. A. Brown +20
The observed mass excesses of analog nuclear states with the same mass number and isospin can be used to test the isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME), which has, in mos…
White Paper on Nuclear Astrophysics
Almudena Arcones, Dan W. Bardayan, Timothy C. Beers +40
This white paper informs the nuclear astrophysics community and funding agencies about the scientific directions and priorities of the field and provides input from this community…
New Constraints on the 18F(p,alpha) 15O Rate in Novae from the (d,p) Reaction
R. L. Kozub, D. W. Bardayan, J. C. Batchelder +18
The degree to which the (p,gamma) and (p,alpha) reactions destroy 18F at temperatures 1-4x10^8 K is important for understanding the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions and for u…
A New 17F(p,gamma)18Ne Reaction Rate and Its Implications for Nova Nucleosynthesis
S. Parete-Koon, W. R. Hix, M. S. Smith +4
Proton capture by 17F plays an important role in the synthesis of nuclei in nova explosions. A revised rate for this reaction, based on a measurement of the 1H(17F,p)17F excitation…
