Title: Using inertial fusion implosions to measure the $T + {}^{3}{He}$ fusion cross section at nucleosynthesis-relevant energies

Abstract

Light nuclei were created during big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Standard BBN theory, using rates inferred from accelerator-beam data, cannot explain high levels of 6 Li in low-metallicity stars. Using high-energy-density plasmas we measure the T ( 3 He , γ ) 6 Li reaction rate, a candidate for anomalously high 6 Li production; we find that the rate is too low to explain the observations, and different than values used in common BBN models. This is the first data directly relevant to BBN, and also the first use of laboratory plasmas, at comparable conditions to astrophysical systems, to address a problem in nuclear astrophysics.

Using Inertial Fusion Implosions to Measure the T + 3 He Fusion Cross Section at Nucleosynthesis-Relevant Energies

Dataset Zylstra, A. B. ; Herrmann, H. W. ; Johnson, M. Gatu ; ...

Light nuclei were created during big-bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). Standard BBN theory, using rates inferred from accelerator-beam data, cannot explain high levels of Li6 in low-metallicity stars. Using high-energy-density plasmas we measure the T(He3,?)Li6 reaction rate, a candidate for anomalously high Li6 production; we find that the rate is too low to explain the observations, and different than values used in common BBN models. This is the first data directly relevant to BBN, and also the first use of laboratory plasmas, at comparable conditions to astrophysical systems, to address a problem in nuclear astrophysics.

Experimental Evidence of a Variant Neutron Spectrum from the $T (t, 2 n) α$ Reaction at Center-of-Mass Energies in the Range of 16–50 keV

Journal Article Johnson, M. Gatu ; Forrest, C. J. ; Sayre, D. B. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Full calculations of six-nucleon reactions with a three-body final state have been elusive and a long-standing issue. We present neutron spectra from the T(t,2n)α (TT) reaction measured in inertial confinement fusion experiments at the OMEGA laser facility at ion temperatures from 4 to 18 keV, corresponding to center-of-mass energies (E_c.m.) from 16 to 50 keV. A clear difference in the shape of the TT-neutron spectrum is observed between the two E_c.m., with the ⁵He ground state resonant peak at 8.6 MeV being significantly stronger at the higher than at the lower energy. The data provide the first conclusive evidence ofmore »« less
