Neutrino-nucleus reactions and nuclear structure
E. Kolbe, K. Langanke, G. Martínez-Pinedo +1
The methods used in the evaluation of the neutrino-nucleus cross section are reviewed. Results are shown for a variety of targets of practical importance. Many of the described rea…
Neutrino-induced fission of neutron-rich nuclei
E. Kolbe, K. -H. Langanke, G. M. Fuller
We calculate neutrino-induced fission cross sections for selected nuclei with Z=84-92. We show that these reactions populate the daughter nucleus at excitation energies where shell…
Neutrino Nucleosynthesis
A. Heger, E. Kolbe, W. C. Haxton +3
We study neutrino process nucleosynthesis in massive stars using newly calculated cross sections, an expanded reaction network, and complete and self-consistent models of the proge…
Electron capture rates for core collapse supernovae
J. M. Sampaio, K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo +2
Electron capture rates on neutron-rich nuclei (A>65) were calculated within the Random Phase Approximation with partial number formalism, including allowed and forbidden transition…
Signatures of Nucleon Disappearance in Large Underground Detectors
Yuri Kamyshkov, Edwin Kolbe
For neutrons bound inside nuclei, baryon instability can manifest itself as a decay into undetectable particles (e.g., ), i.e., as a disappearance of a neutron…
Element Synthesis in Stars
F. -K. Thielemann, F. Brachwitz, C. Freiburghaus +14
Except for 1H, 2H, 3He, 4He, and 7Li, originating from the Big Bang, all heavier elements are made in stellar evolution and stellar explosions. Nuclear physics, and in many cases n…
Unblocking of the Gamow-Teller strength in stellar electron capture on neutron-rich Germanium isotopes
K. Langanke, E. Kolbe, D. J. Dean
We propose a new model to calculate stellar electron capture rates for neutron-rich nuclei. These nuclei are encountered in the core-collapse of a massive star. Using the Shell Mod…
Muon capture on nuclei with N > Z, random phase approximation, and in-medium renormalization of the axial-vector coupling constant
E. Kolbe, K. Langanke, P. Vogel
We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on Ca,Ca, Fe, Zr, and Pb. With Ca as a test case, we…
The role of -induced reactions on lead and iron in neutrino detectors
E. Kolbe, K. Langanke
We have calculated cross sections and branching ratios for neutrino induced reactions on ^{208}Pb and ^{56}Fe for various supernova and accelerator-relevant neutrino spectra. This…
The inclusive 56Fe(nu_e,e-)56Co cross section
E. Kolbe, K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo
We study the 56Fe(nu_e,e^-)56Co cross section for the KARMEN neutrino spectrum. The Gamow-Teller contribution to the cross section is calculated within the shell model, while the f…
Weak reactions on 12C within the Continuum Random Phase Approximation with partial occupancies
E. Kolbe, K. Langanke, P. Vogel
We extend our previous studies of the neutrino-induced reactions on 12C and muon capture to include partial occupation of nuclear subshells in the framework of the continuum random…
Strangeness in the nucleon and the ratio of proton-to-neutron neutrino-induced quasi-elastic yield
E. Kolbe, S. Krewald, H. Weigel
The electroweak form factors of the nucleon as obtained within a three flavor pseudoscalar vector meson soliton model are employed to predict the ratio of the proton and neutron yi…
Neutrino induced transitions between the ground states of the A=12 triad
J. Engel, E. Kolbe, K. Langanke +1
Neutrino induced reactions on C, an ingredient of liquid scintillators, have been studied in several experiments. We show that for currently available neutrino energies, $E_…
Signal for supernova and neutrinos in water Čerenkov detectors
K. Langanke, P. Vogel, E. Kolbe
We suggest that photons with energies between 5 and 10 MeV, generated by the () and () reactions on O, constitute a signal which allows a unique identificati…
Quasielastic neutrino scattering from oxygen and the atmospheric neutrino problem
J. Engel, E. Kolbe, K. Langanke +1
We examine several phenomena beyond the scope of Fermi-gas models that affect the quasielastic scattering (from oxygen) of neutrinos in the 0.1 -- 3.0 GeV range. These include Coul…
