Investigation of the triple-alpha reaction in a full three-body approach

Ngoc B Nguyen, Filomena M Nunes, Ian J Thompson

Background: The triple-alpha reaction is the key to our understanding about the nucleosynthesis and the observed abundance of C in stars. The theory of this process is well…

Low-temperature triple-alpha rate in a full three-body model

N. B. Nguyen, F. M. Nunes, I. J. Thompson +1

A new full three-body method is introduced to compute the rate of the triple-alpha capture reaction which is the primary source of C in stars. In this work, we combine the F…

Are present reaction theories for studying rare isotopes good enough?

F. M. Nunes, P. Capel, R. J. Charity +7

Rare isotopes are most often studied through nuclear reactions. Nuclear reactions can be used to obtain detailed structure information but also in connection to astrophysics to det…

Transfer reactions and the dispersive optical-model

N. B. Nguyen, S. J. Waldecker, F. M. Nunes +2

The dispersive optical-model is applied to transfer reactions. A systematic study of reactions on closed-shell nuclei using the finite-range adiabatic reaction model is per…

Finite-range effects in (d,p) reactions

N. B. Nguyen, F. M. Nunes, R. C. Johnson

With the increasing interest in using (d,p) transfer reactions to extract structure and astrophysical information, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of common approximations…
