-decay Measurements Near the Island of Inversion to Quantify Cooling of Accreted Neutron Star Crusts
K. Hermansen, W. -J. Ong, H. Schatz +18
Understanding the thermal structure of the outer crust of accreting neutron stars is important to interpret astronomical X-ray observations. Ground-state to ground-state -decay…
Beta-decay Half Lives beyond Ca: A Systematic Survey of Decay Properties approaching the Neutron Dripline
W. -J. Ong, Z. Y. Xu, R. Grzywacz +83
In an experiment performed at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) using the FRIB Decay Station initiator (FDSi), 15 new half lives of isotopes near Ca were measured.…
Machine-Learning-Enabled Measurements of Astrophysical (p,n) Reactions with the SECAR Recoil Separator
P. Tsintari, N. Dimitrakopoulos, R. Garg +29
The synthesis of heavy elements in supernovae is affected by low-energy (n,p) and (p,n) reactions on unstable nuclei, yet experimental data on such reaction rates are scarce. The S…
Enhanced production of 60Fe in massive stars
A. Spyrou, D. Richman, A. Couture +23
Massive stars are a major source of chemical elements in the cosmos, ejecting freshly produced nuclei through winds and core-collapse supernova explosions into the interstellar med…
