High-energy Coulomb breakup of proton-dripline nuclei as a tool to study radiative-capture reactions of astrophysical interest

Journal Article Suemmerer, K - AIP Conference Proceedings

High-energy Coulomb dissociation (CD) can be used to investigate the time-reversed process, radiative capture, for unstable nuclei where the direct capture reaction is difficult or impossible to perform. At GSI, we have run a series of CD measurements involving the proton-halo nucleus {sup 8}B which plays a major role in solar-neutrino physics. We could show that for this case CD and direct proton capture yield the same result. Theoretical guidance is necessary, however, to make sure that contributions of different electro-magnetic multipolarities and nuclear dissociation processes are well under control. Recently, we have complemented the LAND/ALADIN experimental apparatus at GSImore »« less

Few-body problems in nuclear astrophysics. Asymptotic behavior of bound state wave functions in two-body channels and radiative capture reactions

Journal Article Blokhintsev, L D ; Mukhamedzhanov, A M - AIP Conference Proceedings

Few-body problems of astrophysical direct radiative capture reactions are discussed. At astrophysical energies these reactions are peripheral and governed by the asymptotics of the many-particle bound state wave function in the two-body channel. The role of the normalization coefficient of this tail and methods to calculate it are discussed. New anomalous asymptotics have been found in few-body approach which gives rise to the new mechanism of radiative capture and can influence nuclear astrophysical reactions, muon-catalyzed fusion, and electron screening. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.

Astrophysical factor for the radiative capture reaction {alpha}+{ital d}{r_arrow}{sup 6}Li+{gamma}

Journal Article Mukhamedzhanov, A M ; Schmitt, R P ; Tribble, R E ; ... - Physical Review, C

We consider the radiative capture process {alpha}+{ital d}{r_arrow}{sup 6}Li+{gamma} at energies, {ital E}{sub c.m.}{le}300 keV, that are relevant for astrophysical processes. Due to the peripheral character of the reaction, the overall normalization of the astrophysical factor {ital S}{sub 24} is entirely governed by one quantity, the asymptotic normalization coefficient {ital C}{sub 01} for {sup 6}Li {r_arrow}{alpha}+{ital d}. Using the recently well established value for this constant {ital C}{sub 01}=2.3{plus_minus}0.12 fm{sup {minus}1/2}, we calculated {ital S}{sub 24} taking into account both {ital E}1 and {ital E}2 contributions. Our recommended value for {ital S}{sub 24} is 2.57 MeV nb at the mostmore »« less
