Direct measurement of the 13C(α,n)16O cross section into the s-process Gamow peak

G. F. Ciani, L. Csedreki, D. Rapagnani +45

One of the main neutron sources for the astrophysical s-process is the reaction 13C(α,n)16O, taking place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch stars at temperatures around…
