Low-metallicity nova explosions: a site for weak rp-process nucleosynthesis
Athanasios Psaltis, Jordi José, Richard Longland +1
Classical novae are common cataclysmic events involving a binary system of a white dwarf and a main sequence or red giant companion star. In metal-poor environments, these explosio…

Investigation of P levels near the proton threshold by Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence and the impact on the Si(p,)P thermonuclear rate
David Gribble, Christian Iliadis, Robert V. F. Janssens +13
We investigated the nuclear structure of P near the proton threshold using Nuclear Resonance Fluorescence (NRF) to refine the properties of key resonances in the Si(p…
