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…

Revision of the 15N(p,γ)16O reaction rate and oxygen abundance in H-burning zones

A. Caciolli, C. Mazzocchi, V. Capogrosso +27

The NO cycle takes place in the deepest layer of a H-burning core or shell, when the temperature exceeds T {\simeq} 30 {\cdot} 106 K. The O depletion observed in some globular clus…

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…

New experimental study of low-energy (p,gamma) resonances in magnesium isotopes

B. Limata, F. Strieder, A. Formicola +30

Proton captures on Mg isotopes play an important role in the Mg-Al cycle active in stellar H shell burning. In particular, the strengths of low-energy resonances with E < 200 keV i…

Solar fusion cross sections II: the pp chain and CNO cycles

E. G. Adelberger, A. B. Balantekin, D. Bemmerer +45

We summarize and critically evaluate the available data on nuclear fusion cross sections important to energy generation in the Sun and other hydrogen-burning stars and to solar neu…
