Implications for Type Ia Supernova Nucleosynthesis from an Experimentally Constrained ON Reaction Rate
M. Alruwaili, C. Fougeres, A. M. Laird +13
The ON reaction plays a key role in shaping the -particle abundance during explosive oxygen burning in Type Ia supernovae. By enhancing -production, thi…

First experimental determination of the Ar()Ar reaction cross section and Ar production in Earth's atmosphere
S. Bhattacharya, M. Paul, R. N. Sahoo +28
The cosmogenic Ar(t= 268 years) isotope of argon is used for geophysical dating and tracing owing to its appropriate half-life and chemical inertness as a noble gas;…

First measurement of 87Rb(α, xn) cross sections at weak r-process energies in supernova ν-driven ejecta to investigate elemental abundances in low-metallicity stars
C. Fougères, M. L. Avila, A. Psaltis +18
Observed abundances of Z ~ 40 elements in metal-poor stars vary from star to star, indicating that the rapid and slow neutron capture processes may not contribute alone to the synt…
