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…
Gas-cell development for nuclear astrophysics motivated studies on noble gas targets and the He(,)Be reaction
Ã. Tóth, Z. Elekes, Zs. Fülöp +8
In many astrophysical scenarios, alpha induced reactions on noble gas nuclei play a crucial role. Studying these reactions in the laboratory requires the noble gas atoms to be conf…
Advances in Radiative Capture Studies at LUNA with a Segmented BGO Detector
Jakub Skowronski, Riccardo Maria Gesuè, Axel Boeltzig +43
Studies of charged-particle reactions for low-energy nuclear astrophysics require high sensitivity, which can be achieved by means of detection setups with high efficiency and low…
Status and future directions for direct cross-section measurements of the 13C(a,n)16O reaction for astrophysics
L. Csedreki, Gy. Gyürky, D. Rapagnani +45
The 13C(a,n)16O reaction is the main neutron source of the s-process taking place in thermally pulsing AGB stars and it is one of the main candidate sources of neutrons for the i-p…
Improved direct measurement of low-energy resonances in the Ne(p,)Na reaction
R. S. Sidhu, F. Casaburo, E. Masha +57
In the nova temperature range, 0.1 GK 0.4 GK, several low-energy resonances dominate the Ne(p,)Na reaction rate, which is currently affected by large unce…
Measurement of -particles to determine cross sections relevant to the weak r-process
Sándor R. Kovács, Tibor Norbert Szegedi, Ãkos Tóth +9
The neutron-rich isotopes with 30 Z 45 are thought to be synthesised in neutrino-driven winds after the collapse of a massive star. This nucleosynthesis scenario, cal…
