Experimental study of reaction cross sections relevant to the abundance in the solar system [Experimental study of induced cross sections relevant to the abundance in the solar system]
Abstract
In massive stars, the 41Ca(n,α)38Ar and 41K(p,α)38Ar reactions have been identified as the key reactions governing the abundance of 41Ca, which is considered as a potential chronometer for solar system formation. So far, due to experimental limitations, the 41Ca(n,α)38Ar reaction rate is solely based on statistical model calculations. In the present study, we have measured the time-inverse 38Ar(α,n)41Ca and 38Ar(α,p)41K reactions using an active target detector. The reactions were studied in inverse kinematics using a 133-MeV 38Ar beam and 4He as the active-gas target. Both excitation functions were measured simultaneously in the energy range of 6.8 ≤ Ec.m. ≤ 9.3 MeV. Furthermore by using detailed balance the 41Ca(n,α)38Ar and 41K(p,α)38Ar reaction rates were determined, which suggested a 20% increase in the 41Ca yield from massive stars.
