Title: A recoil separator for nuclear astrophysics SECAR

Abstract

In this paper, a recoil separator SECAR has been designed to study radiative capture reactions relevant for the astrophysical rp-process in inverse kinematics for the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). Finally, we describe the design, layout, and ion optics of the recoil separator and present the status of the project.

SECAR: A recoil separator for nuclear astrophysics

Conference Tsintari, P ; Garg, Ruchi ; Berg, Georg P. A. ; ...

Proton-and alpha-capture reactions on unstable proton-rich nuclei power astrophysical explosions like novae and X-ray bursts. Direct measurements of these reactions are crucial for understanding the mechanisms behind these explosions and the nucleosynthesis at such sites. The recoil mass separator, SECAR (SEparator for CApture Reactions) at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) and the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), has been designed with the required sensitivity to study (p,γ) and (α,γ) reactions, directly at astrophysical energies in inverse kinematics, with radioactive beams of masses up to about A = 65.

Design of SECAR a recoil mass separator for astrophysical capture reactions with radioactive beams

Journal Article Berg, G. P. A. ; Couder, M. ; Moran, M. T. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

A recoil mass separator SECAR has been designed for the purpose of studying low-energy (p,γ) and (α,γ) reactions in inverse kinematics with radioactive beams for masses up to about A = 65. Their reaction rates are of importance for our understanding of the energy production and nucleosynthesis during explosive hydrogen and helium burning. The radiative capture reactions take place in a windowless hydrogen or He gas target at the entrance of the separator, which consists of four Sections. The first Section selects the charge state of the recoils. The second and third Sections contain Wien Filters providing high mass resolvingmore »« less

Online Bayesian optimization for a recoil mass separator

Journal Article Miskovich, S. A. ; Montes, F. ; Berg, G. P. A. ; ... - Physical Review Accelerators and Beams

The Separator for Capture Reactions (SECAR) is a next-generation recoil separator system at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) designed for the direct measurement of capture reactions on unstable nuclei in inverse kinematics. To maximize the performance of this system, stringent requirements on the beam alignment to the central beam axis and on the ion-optical settings need to be achieved. These can be difficult to attain through manual tuning by human operators without potentially leaving the system in a suboptimal and irreproducible state. In this work, we present the first development of online Bayesian optimization with a Gaussian processmore »« less

Design of a New Recoil Separator for Measurements of Radiative Capture Reactions in Astrophysics

Journal Article Berg, Georg P. A. ; Couder, Manoel ; Wiescher, Michael ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The rates of proton- and alpha-capture reactions on unstable proton-rich nuclei are needed to understand the energy generation and element synthesis occurring in novae, X-ray bursts, and other explosions. Direct measurements of the cross sections of some of these reactions are now possible with radioactive beams and a recoil separator. A new device for such measurements, the Separator for CApture Reactions [SECAR], is being designed for use at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The specifications and preliminary conceptual design will be discussed along with plans for the first set of measurements.

Investigation of the Role of the Role of Nuclear Physics in Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis, through the Study of Key Reactions, and the Improvement of Theoretical Reaction Rates (Final Report)

Technical Report Perdikakis, Georgios

Neutrino-driven winds in core-collapse supernovae have been identified as a possible site for the production of elements heavier than iron. Traditionally, these neutrino-driven winds have been proposed as the site of the main r-process. Recent simulations fail to reproduce the conditions required for the main r-process. while they remain a promising site for producing the lightest elements beyond iron, e.g., Sr, Y, and Zr through the νp process. The efficiency of the νp process depends on the hydrodynamical conditions, the electron fraction (which is related to the neutrino properties), and the nuclear reactions on many short-lived nuclei with limited (ifmore »« less
