The CERN n TOF NEAR station for astrophysics- and application-related neutron activation measurements
N. Patronis, A. Mengoni, N. Colonna +130
A new experimental area, the NEAR station, has recently been built at the CERN n TOF facility, at a short distance from the spallation target (1.5 m). The new area, characterized b…
Direct measurement of the 13C(α,n)16O cross section into the s-process Gamow peak
G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, D. Rapagnani +45
One of the main neutron sources for the astrophysical s-process is the reaction 13C(α,n)16O, taking place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars at temperatures around…
Setup commissioning for an improved measurement of the D(p,gamma)3He cross section at Big Bang Nucleosynthesis energies
V. Mossa, K. Stöckel, F. Cavanna +44
Among the reactions involved in the production and destruction of deuterium during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the deuterium-burning D(p,gamma)3He reaction has the largest uncertaint…
A new approach to monitor 13C-targets degradation in situ for 13C(alpha,n)16O cross-section measurements at LUNA
G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, J. Balibrea-Correa +46
Direct measurements of reaction cross-sections at astrophysical energies often require the use of solid targets able to withstand high ion beam currents for extended periods of tim…
Direct capture cross section and the = 71 and 105 keV resonances in the Ne()Na reaction
F. Ferraro, M. P. Takács, D. Piatti +41
The Ne()Na reaction, part of the neon-sodium cycle of hydrogen burning, may explain the observed anticorrelation between sodium and oxygen abundances in globular…
Effect of beam energy straggling on resonant yield in thin gas targets: The cases Ne(p,γ)Na and N(p,γ)O
D. Bemmerer, F. Cavanna, R. Depalo +25
When deriving resonance strengths using the thick-target yield approximation, for very narrow resonances it may be necessary to take beam energy straggling into account. This appli…
