Detector characterization for a new C+C reaction study at LUNA
R. M. Gesùè, S. Turkat, J. SkowroÅski +50
The C+C fusion reaction plays a crucial role in stellar evolution, including the occurrence of supernova explosions, and in the synthesis of the chemical elements. Ho…
Measurement of the ambient neutron flux and spectral distribution at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory
S. E. A. Orrigo, J. L. Tain, N. Mont-Geli +13
We report on the measurement of the ambient neutron flux and its energy distribution over a broad range of neutron energies, conducted in Hall A of the Canfranc Underground Laborat…
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…
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;…
Improved -factor of the C(p,)N reaction at 330-740 keV and parameters of resonances at 448 keV and 551 keV
J. Skowronski, E. Masha, D. Piatti +23
The C(p,)N reaction is the second reaction of the CNO cycle. This cycle takes place in our Sun and fuels massive, Red, and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars. The $^{1…
Status of the HENSA collaboration at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory: results from two years of measurement of the neutron flux in hall B
N. Mont-Geli, A. Tarifeño-Saldivia, G. Cortés +29
Thiswork deals with the characterization of the neutron flux in hall B of the CanfrancUnderground Laboratory (LSC) employing the High Efficiency Neutron Spectrometry Array (HENSA).…
