Cross Section Measurement of the Kr(p,)Rb Reaction in Inverse Kinematics
A. Tsantiri, A. Palmisano-Kyle, A. Spyrou +16
The total cross section of the Kr(p,)Rb reaction was measured for the first time at effective center-of-mass energies between 2.4 and 3.0 MeV, within the relevant…
Constraining the Astrophysical p Process: Cross Section Measurement of the 84Kr(p,g)85Rb Reaction in Inverse Kinematics
Alicia Palmisano-Kyle, Artemis Spyrou, Paul DeYoung +11
One of the biggest questions in nuclear astrophysics is understanding where the elements come from and how they are made. This work focuses on the p process, a nucleosynthesis proc…
Horizons: Nuclear Astrophysics in the 2020s and Beyond
H. Schatz, A. D. Becerril Reyes, A. Best +162
Nuclear Astrophysics is a field at the intersection of nuclear physics and astrophysics, which seeks to understand the nuclear engines of astronomical objects and the origin of the…
-decay of V and its Role in Cooling Accreted Neutron Star Crusts
W. -J. Ong, E. F. Brown, J. Browne +20
The interpretation of observations of cooling neutron star crusts in quasi-persistent X-ray transients is affected by predictions of the strength of neutrino cooling via crust Urca…
A technique for the study of (p,n) reactions with unstable isotopes at energies relevant to astrophysics
P. Gastis, G. Perdikakis, G. P. A. Berg +20
We have developed and tested an experimental technique for the measurement of low-energy (p,n) reactions in inverse kinematics relevant to nuclear astrophysics. The proposed setup…
First inverse kinematics study of the NeNa reaction and its role in AGB star and classical nova nucleosynthesis
M. Williams, A. Lennarz, A. M. Laird +17
The abundances of sodium and oxygen are observed to be anti-correlated in all well-studied globular clusters. Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars undergoing hot bottom burning (HBB…
Determination of hexadecapole () deformation of the light-mass nucleus Mg using quasi-elastic measurement
Y. K. Gupta, B. K. Nayak, U. Garg +26
Quasi-elastic scattering measurements have been performed using O and Mg projectiles off Zr at energies around the Coulomb barrier. Experimental data have been…
Quenching Measurements and Modeling of a Boron-Loaded Organic Liquid Scintillator
Shawn Westerdale, Jingke Xu, Emily Shields +13
Organic liquid scintillators are used in a wide variety of applications in experimental nuclear and particle physics. Boron-loaded scintillators are particularly useful for detecti…
The first direct measurement of 12C(12C,n)23Mg at stellar energies
B. Bucher, X. D. Tang, X. Fang +28
Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction 12C(12C,n)23Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. However, past studies have shown large discrepancies between exper…
Scintillation efficiency measurement of Na recoils in NaI(Tl) below the DAMA/LIBRA energy threshold
Jingke Xu, Emily Shields, Frank Calaprice +18
The dark matter interpretation of the DAMA modulation signal depends on the NaI(Tl) scintillation efficiency of nuclear recoils. Previous measurements for Na recoils have large dis…
Measurement of Scintillation and Ionization Yield and Scintillation Pulse Shape from Nuclear Recoils in Liquid Argon
H. Cao, T. Alexander, A. Aprahamian +32
We have measured the scintillation and ionization yield of recoiling nuclei in liquid argon as a function of applied electric field by exposing a dual-phase liquid argon time proje…
Measurement of the Zr(p,)Nb reactions for the nucleosynthesis of elements around A=90
A. Spyrou, S. J. Quinn, A. Simon +24
Cross section measurements of the reactions Zr(p,)Nb were performed using the NSCL SuN detector at the University of Notre Dame. These reactions are part of…
Systematic study of (p,γ) reactions on Ni isotopes
A. Simon, A. Spyrou, T. Rauscher +23
A systematic study of the radiative proton capture reaction for all stable nickel isotopes is presented. The results were obtained using 2.0 - 6.0 MeV protons from the 11 MV tandem…
