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…
S-factor of 14N(p,gamma)15O at astrophysical energies
G. Imbriani, H. Costantini, A. Formicola +31
The astrophysical S-factor of 14N(p,gamma)15O has been measured for effective center-of-mass energies between E_eff = 119 and 367 keV at the LUNA facility using TiN solid targets a…
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…
First Measurement of the He3+He3-->He4+2p Cross Section down to the Lower Edge of the Solar Gamow Peak
The LUNA Collaboration, R. Bonetti, C. Broggini +22
We give the LUNA results on the cross section measurement of a key reaction of the proton-proton chain strongly affecting the calculated neutrino luminosity from the Sun: He3+He3--…
