Big Bang Nucleosynthesis results refined via the Trojan Horse Method
Roberta Spartà, Rosario Gianluca Pizzone, Livio Lamia +13
This work presents the Trojan Horse Method (THM) as a powerful technique for measuring nuclear reaction cross sections at astrophysical energies. We then explore the impact of THM-…
Nuclear Physics Mid Term Plan at LNGS
R. Buompane, F. Cavanna, C. Curceanu +59
The Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare-Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) is one of the largest underground physics laboratory, a very peculiar environment suited for ex…
Radioisotopes production using lasers: from basic science to applications
M. R. D. Rodrigues, A. Bonasera, M. Scisciò +37
Laser technologies improved after the understanding of the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) which allows energetic laser beams to be compressed to tens of femtosecond (fs) pulse d…
Searching for resonance states in Ne()Na
D. P. Carrasco-Rojas, M. Williams, P. Adsley +16
Background: Globular clusters show strong correlations between different elements, such as the well-known sodium-oxygen anticorrelation. One of the main sources of uncertainty in t…
Understanding globular cluster abundances through nuclear reactions
P Adsley, M Williams, D S Harrouz +24
Globular clusters contain multiple stellar populations, with some previous generation of stars polluting the current stars with heavier elements. Understanding the history of globu…
Experimental study of the Si(He,)P reaction and thermonuclear reaction rate of Si(,)P
D. S. Harrouz, N. de Séréville, P. Adsley +13
[Background] Abundance anomalies in some globular clusters, such as the enhancement of potassium and the depletion of magnesium, can be explained in terms of an earlier generation…
The 27Al(p,a)24Mg reaction at astrophysical energies studied by means of the Trojan Horse Method applied to the 2H(27Al,a24Mg)n reaction
Sara Palmerini, Marco La Cognata, Fairouz Hammache +33
The 27Al(p,a)24Mg reaction, which drives the destruction of 27Al and the production of 24Mg in stellar hydrogen burning, has been investigated via the Trojan Horse Method (THM) by…
Re-evaluation of the Ne()Mg and Ne()Mg reaction rates
Philip Adsley, Umberto Battino, Andreas Best +11
The competing Ne()Mg and Ne()Mg reactions control the production of neutrons for the weak -process in massive and AGB stars. In both system…
Experimental nuclear astrophysics in Italy
C. Broggini, O. Straniero, M. G. F. Taiuti +36
Nuclear astrophysics, the union of nuclear physics and astronomy, went through an impressive expansion during the last twenty years. This could be achieved thanks to milestone impr…
