Effect of beam energy straggling on resonant yield in thin gas targets: The cases Ne(p,γ)Na and N(p,γ)O

D. Bemmerer, F. Cavanna, R. Depalo +25

When deriving resonance strengths using the thick-target yield approximation, for very narrow resonances it may be necessary to take beam energy straggling into account. This appli…

Cosmic-ray induced background intercomparison with actively shielded HPGe detectors at underground locations

T. Szücs, D. Bemmerer, T. P. Reinhardt +6

The main background above 3\,MeV for in-beam nuclear astrophysics studies with -ray detectors is caused by cosmic-ray induced secondaries. The two commonly used suppression meth…
