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…
First measurement of the 14N(p,gamma)15O cross section down to 70 keV
A. Lemut, D. Bemmerer, F. Confortola +28
In stars with temperatures above 20*10^6 K, hydrogen burning is dominated by the CNO cycle. Its rate is determined by the slowest process, the 14N(p,gamma)15O reaction. Deep underg…
First direct measurement of the total cross section of 12C(alpha,gamma)16O
D. Schuermann, A. Di Leva, L. Gialanella +14
The total cross section of 12C(alpha,gamma)16O was measured for the first time by a direct and ungated detection of the 16O recoils. This measurement in inverse kinematics using th…
Feasibility of low energy radiative capture experiments at the LUNA underground accelerator facility
D. Bemmerer, F. Confortola, A. Lemut +29
The LUNA (Laboratory Underground for Nuclear Astrophysics) facility has been designed to study nuclear reactions of astrophysical interest. It is located deep underground in the Gr…
The bottleneck of the CNO burning and the age of the Globular Clusters
G. Imbriani, H. Costantini, A. Formicola +27
The transition between the Main Sequence and the Red Giant Branch in low mass stars is powered by the onset of the CNO burning, whose bottleneck is the N(p,O. The L…
