Abstract

Something of particular interest in astrophysics is the ³⁴ S ( p , γ ) ³⁵ Cl reaction, which serves as a stepping stone in thermonuclear runaway reaction chains during a nova explosion. Although the isotopes involved are all stable, the reaction rate of this significant step is not well known, due to a lack of experimental spectroscopic information on states within the Gamow window above the proton separation threshold of ³⁵ Cl . Furthermore, measurements of level spins and parities provide input for the calculation of resonance strengths, which ultimately determine the astrophysical reaction rate of the ³⁴ S ( p , γ ) ³⁵ Cl proton capture reaction. By performing the ³⁷ Cl ( p , t ) ³⁵ Cl reaction in normal kinematics at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we have conducted a study of the region of astrophysical interest in ³⁵ Cl , and have made the first-ever constraint on the spin and parity assignment for a level at 6677 ± 15 keV ( E_r= 306 keV), inside the Gamow window for novae.

Excited states of ${}^{39}{Ca}$ and their significance in nova nucleosynthesis

Journal Article Setoodehnia, K. ; Marshall, C. ; Kelley, J. H. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: We report that discrepancies exist between the observed abundances of argon and calcium in oxygen-neon nova ejecta and those predicted by nova models. An improved characterization of the ³⁸K(p,γ) ³⁹Ca reaction rate over the nova temperature regime (~ 0.1-0.4 GK), and thus the nuclear structure of ³⁹Ca above the proton threshold (5770.92(63) keV), is necessary to resolve these contradictions. Purpose: The present study was performed to search for low-spin proton resonances in the ³⁸K + p system, and to improve the uncertainties in energies of the known astrophysically significant proton resonances in ³⁹Ca. Methods: The level structure of ³⁹Camore »« less

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

Journal Article Pain, S. D. ; Bardayan, D. W. ; Blackmon, J. C. ; ... - Physical Review Letters

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 factormore »« less

Direct neutron capture cross section on ${}^{80}{Ge}$ and probing shape coexistence in neutron-rich nuclei

Journal Article Ahn, S. ; Bardayan, D. W. ; Jones, K. L. ; ... - Physical Review C

Results are presented from the first neutron-transfer measurement on ⁸⁰Ge using an exotic beam from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Newly measured spins and spectroscopic factors of low-lying states of ⁸¹Ge are determined, and the neutron capture cross section on ⁸⁰Ge was calculated in a direct-semidirect model to provide a more realistic (n,γ) reaction rate for r-process simulations. Furthermore, a region of shape coexistence around N ≈ 50 is confirmed and implications for the magic nature of ⁷⁸Ni are discussed.
