First Proton-Induced Cross Sections on a Stored Rare Ion Beam: Measurement of 118Te(p,γ) for Explosive Nucleosynthesis
F. Dellmann, J. Glorius, Yu. A. Litvinov +75
We present the first nuclear cross-section measurements of (p,γ) and (p,n) reactions on 118Te at energies relevant for the γ-process nucleosynthesis. Absolute cross-section value…
Half-life determination of heavy ions in a storage ring considering feeding and depleting background processes
R. J. Chen, G. Leckenby, R. S. Sidhu +49
Heavy-ion storage rings have relatively large momentum acceptance which allows for multiple ion species to circulate at the same time. This needs to be considered in radioactive de…
Schottky detection techniques for ultra-rare short-lived ions in heavy ion storage rings
Shahab Sanjari, Yuri A. Litvinov, George Hudson-Chang +10
Non-destructive Schottky detectors are indispensable devices widely used in experiments at heavy-ion storage rings. In particular, they can be used to accurately determine the mass…
Bound-State Beta Decay of Ions and the LOREX Project
R. S. Sidhu, G. Leckenby, R. J. Chen +55
Stable Tl ions have the lowest known energy threshold for capturing electron neutrinos () of \,keV. The Lorandite Experiment (LOREX), proposed in…
High-temperature Tl decay clarifies Pb dating in early Solar System
G. Leckenby, R. S. Sidhu, R. J. Chen +56
Radioactive nuclei with lifetimes on the order of millions of years can reveal the formation history of the Sun and active nucleosynthesis occurring at the time and place of its bi…
First simultaneous measurement of the gamma-ray and neutron emission probabilities in inverse kinematics at a heavy-ion storage ring
M. Sguazzin, B. Jurado, J. Pibernat +50
The probabilities for gamma-ray and particle emission as a function of the excitation energy of a decaying nucleus are valuable observables for constraining the ingredients of the…
