Abstract

Here, the structure of nuclei provides insight into astrophysical reaction rates that are difficult to measure directly. These studies are often performed with transfer reactions and β-decay measurements. These experiments benefit from particle-γ coincidence measurements which provide information beyond that of particle detection alone. The Hybrid Array of Gamma Ray Detectors (HAGRiD) of LaBr₃(Ce) scintillators has been designed with this purpose in mind. The design of the array permits it to be coupled with particle detector systems, such as the Oak Ridge Rutgers University Barrel Array (ORRUBA) of silicon detectors and the Versatile Array of Neutron Detectors at Low Energy (VANDLE). It is also designed to operate with the Jet Experiments in Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics (JENSA) advanced target system. HAGRiD’s design avoids compromising the charged-particle angular resolution due to compact geometries which are often used to increase the γ efficiency in other systems. First experiments with HAGRiD coupled to VANDLE as well as ORRUBA and JENSA are discussed.

Constraining spectroscopic factors near the $r$ -process path using combined measurements: ${}^{86}{Kr}$ $(d,$ ${p)}^{87} Kr$

Journal Article Walter, D. ; Pain, S. D. ; Cizewski, J. A. ; ... - Physical Review C

Background: Current nuclear structure models indicate that the shell structure near the valley of stability, with well-established shell closures at N=50, for example, changes in very neutron-rich nuclei far from stability. Single-particle properties of nuclei away from stability can be probed in single-neutron (d,p) transfer reactions with beams of rare isotopes. The interpretation of these data requires reaction theories with various effective interactions. Often, approximations made to the final bound-state potential introduce a large uncertainty in the extracted single-particle properties, in particular the spectroscopic factor. Purpose: Mitigate this uncertainty using a combined measurement method to constrain the shape of the bound-state potential and to reliably extract the spectroscopic factor. Methods: The ²H(⁸⁶Kr,p)⁸⁷Kr reaction was measured at 33 MeV/u at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) as a test of the combined method. The reaction protons were detected with the Oak Ridge Rutgers University Barrel Array (ORRUBA) of position sensitive silicon strip detectors, the first implementation of ORRUBA coupled to the S800 spectrograph with fast beams at NSCL. Results: These measurements at 33 MeV/u are combined with previous studies of the ⁸⁶Kr(d,p) reaction at 5.5 MeV/u to demonstrate a successful case of the combined method to constrain the shape of the single-particle potential and deduce asymptotic normalization coefficients and spectroscopic factors. In particular, the single-particle asymptotic normalization coefficient for the ground state of ⁸⁷Kr was constrained to b_d5/2=6.46more »« less

Prospects for Surrogate Neutron Capture Measurements with Radioactive Ion Beams and GODDESS

Journal Article Cizewski, Jolie A. ; Ratkiewicz, Andrew ; Lepailleur, Alexandre ; ... - Springer Proceedings in Physics

Neutron capture reactions are responsible for the synthesis of almost all of the elements heavier than iron through the slow s-process, that proceeds close to the line of stability, and the rapid r-process, with very neutron-rich waiting points. Uncertainties in (n,γ) rates in neutron rich nuclei, especially near closed neu- tron shells, can have significant impact [1] on the predictions of final abundances for different astrophysical scenarios for the r process. Understanding (n,γ) rates on neutron-rich fission fragments is also important for nuclear forensics and stockpile stewardship science. Ratkiewicz et al. [2 and references therein] has recently demonstrated that themore »« less

Development of a High Solid-Angle Silicon Detector Array for Measurement of Transfer Reactions in Inverse Kinematics

Conference Pain, S D ; Cizewski, J A ; Hatarik, Robert ; ...

The development of high quality radioactive beams, such as those at the HRIBF at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has made possible the measurement of transfer reactions in inverse kinematics on unstable nuclei. Measurement of (d,p) reactions on neutron-rich nuclei yield data on the evolution of nuclear structure away from stability, and are of astrophysical interest due to the proximity of suggested nuclear burning paths in the astrophysical r-process in supernovae. Experimentally, (d,p) reactions on heavy (Z = 50) fission fragments are complicated by the strongly inverse kinematics, and the relatively low beam intensities. Consequently, ejectile detection with high resolution inmore »« less
Development of ORRUBA: A Silicon Array for the Measurement of Transfer Reactions in Inverse Kinematics

The development of high quality radioactive beams has made possible the measurement of transfer reactions in inverse kinematics on unstable nuclei. Measurement of (d,p) reactions on neutron-rich nuclei yield data on the evolution of nuclear structure away from stability, and are of astrophysical interest. Experimentally, (d,p) reactions on heavy (Z=50) fission fragments are complicated by the strongly inverse kinematics, and relatively low beam intensities. Consequently, ejectile detection with high resolution in position and energy, a high dynamic range and a high solid angular coverage is required.
