Title: Constraint of the Astrophysical ${}^{26 g}{Al} (p, γ) {}^{27}{Si}$ Destruction Rate at Stellar Temperatures

Abstract

The Galactic 1.809-MeV γ-ray signature from the β decay of ^26gAl is a dominant target of γ-ray astronomy, of which a significant component is understood to originate from massive stars. The ^26gAl(p,g)27Si reaction is a major destruction pathway for ^26gAl at stellar temperatures, but the reaction rate is poorly constrained due to uncertainties in the strengths of low-lying resonances in ²⁷Si. The ^26gAl(d,p)²⁷Al reaction has been employed in inverse kinematics to determine the spectroscopic factors, and hence resonance strengths, of proton resonances in ²⁷Si via mirror symmetry. Furthermore, the strength of the 127-keV resonance is found to be a factor of 4 higher than the previously adopted upper limit, and the upper limit for the 68-keV resonance has been reduced by an order of magnitude, considerably constraining the ^26gAl destruction rate at stellar temperatures.

Study of the ${}^{26}{Al}^{m} (d, p) {}^{27}{Al}$ Reaction and the Influence of the ${}^{26}{Al}$ $0^{+}$ Isomer on the Destruction of ${}^{26}{Al}$ in the Galaxy

Journal Article Almaraz-Calderon, S. ; Rehm, K. E. ; Gerken, N. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The existence of ²⁶Al (t_1/2 = 7.17 × 10⁵ yr) in the interstellar medium provides a direct confirmation of ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. The presence of a low-lying 0⁺ isomer (²⁶Al^m), however, severely complicates the astrophysical calculations. Here we present for the first time a study of the ²⁶Al^m (d, p)²⁷ Al reaction using an isomeric ²⁶Al beam. The selectivity of this reaction allowed the study of ℓ = 0 transfers to T = 1/2, and T = 3/2 states in ²⁷Al . Mirror symmetry arguments were then used to constrain the ²⁶Al ^m (p,γ) ²⁷Si reaction rate andmore »« less

Classical-Nova Contribution to the Milky Way’s ${}^{26}{Al}$ Abundance: Exit Channel of the Key ${}^{25}{Al} (p, γ) {}^{26}{Si}$ Resonance

Journal Article Bennett, M. B. ; Wrede, C. ; Chipps, K. A. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present that classical novae are expected to contribute to the 1809-keV Galactic γ-ray emission by producing its precursor ²⁶Al, but the yield depends on the thermonuclear rate of the unmeasured ²⁵Al(p,γ)²⁶Si reaction. Using the β decay of ²⁶P to populate the key J^π=3⁺ resonance in this reaction, we report the first evidence for the observation of its exit channel via a 1741.6±0.6(stat)±0.3(syst) keV primary γ ray, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. By combining the measured γ-ray energy and intensity with other experimental data on ²⁶Si, we find the center-of-mass energy and strength of the resonance to be E_r=414.9±0.6(stat)±0.3(syst)±0.6(lit.) keV and ωγ=23±6(stat)more »« less

First Direct Measurement of ${}^{12}C ({}^{12}C, n) {}^{23}{Mg}$ at Stellar Energies

Journal Article Bucher, B. ; Tang, X. D. ; Fang, X. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction ¹²C(¹²C,n)²³Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. However, past studies have shown large discrepancies between experimental data and theory, leading to an uncertain cross section extrapolation at astrophysical energies. Here in this paper, we present the first direct measurement that extends deep into the astrophysical energy range along with a new and improved extrapolation technique based on experimental data from the mirror reaction ¹²C(¹²C,p)²³Na . The new reaction rate has been determined with a well-defined uncertainty that exceeds the precision required by astrophysics models. Using our constrained rate, we find that ¹²Cmore »« less

Here, the ³⁶Ar(n,γ) ³⁷Ar (t_1/2 = 35 d) and ³⁸Ar(n,γ) ³⁹Ar (269 yr) reactions were studied for the first time with a quasi-Maxwellian (kT ~ 47 keV) neutron flux for Maxwellian average cross section (MACS) measurements at stellar energies. Gas samples were irradiated at the high-intensity Soreq applied research accelerator facility-liquid-lithium target neutron source and the ³⁷Ar/³⁶Ar and ³⁹Ar/³⁸Ar ratios in the activated samples were determined by accelerator mass spectrometry at the ATLAS facility (Argonne National Laboratory). The ³⁷Ar activity was also measured by low-level counting at the University of Bern. Experimental MACS of ³⁶Ar and ³⁸Ar, corrected to themore »« less

${}^{3}{He} (α, γ) {}^{7}{Be}$ and ${}^{3}H (α, γ) {}^{7}{Li}$ astrophysical S factors from the no-core shell model with continuum

Journal Article Dohet-Eraly, Jérémy ; Navrátil, Petr ; Quaglioni, Sofia ; ... - Physics Letters B

The ³He(α,γ)⁷Be and ³H(α,γ)⁷Li astrophysical S factors are calculated within the no-core shell model with continuum using a renormalized chiral nucleon–nucleon interaction. The ³He(α,γ)⁷Be astrophysical S factors agree reasonably well with the experimental data while the ³H(α,γ)⁷Li ones are overestimated. The seven-nucleon bound and resonance states and the α + ³He/³H elastic scattering are also studied and compared with experiment. Here, the low-lying resonance properties are rather well reproduced by our approach. At low energies, the s-wave phase shift, which is non-resonant, is overestimated.
