Preparation and characterisation of isotopically enriched TaO targets for nuclear astrophysics studies
A. Caciolli, D. A. Scott, A. Di Leva +33
The direct measurement of reaction cross sections at astrophysical energies often requires the use of solid targets of known thickness, isotopic composition, and stoichiometry that…
The 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction studied with a composite germanium detector
M. Marta, A. Formicola, D. Bemmerer +26
The rate of the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle of hydrogen burning is controlled by the 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction. The reaction proceeds by capture to the ground states and seve…
Constraining the S factor of 15N(p,g)16O at Astrophysical Energies
P. J. LeBlanc, G. Imbriani, J. Goerres +44
The 15N(p,g)16O reaction represents a break out reaction linking the first and second cycle of the CNO cycles redistributing the carbon and nitrogen abundances into the oxygen rang…
Ultra-sensitive in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy for nuclear astrophysics at LUNA
A. Caciolli, L. Agostino, D. Bemmerer +29
Ultra-sensitive in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy studies for nuclear astrophysics are performed at the LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) 400 kV accelerator, deep…
The 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be S-factor at solar energies: the prompt gamma experiment at LUNA
H. Costantini, D. Bemmerer, F. Confortola +28
The 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be process is a key reaction in both Big-Bang nucleosynthesis and p-p chain of Hydrogen Burning in Stars. A new measurement of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross se…
Precision study of ground state capture in the 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction
M. Marta, A. Formicola, Gy. Gyurky +28
The rate of the hydrogen-burning carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycle is controlled by the slowest process, 14N(p,gamma)15O, which proceeds by capture to the ground and several excit…
