Abstract

The cross sections for populating the residual nucleus in the reaction ^A_ZX(n,x)^A-4_Z-2Y exhibit peaks as a function of incident neutron energy corresponding to the (n,n'α) reaction and, at higher energy, to the (n,2p3n) reaction. In addition, the relative magnitudes of these peaks vary with the Z of the target nucleus.

Indirect study of the stellar ${}^{34}{Ar} (α, p) {}^{37}K$ reaction rate through ${}^{40}{Ca} (p, t) {}^{38}{Ca}$ reaction measurements

Journal Article Long, Alexander Makenzie ; Adachi, T. ; Beard, M. ; ... - Physical Review C

The ³⁴Ar(α,p) ³⁷K reaction is believed to be one of the last in a sequence of (α,p) and (p,γ) reactions within the T_z = -1 , sd-shell nuclei, known as the αp-process. This process is expected to influence the shape and rise times of luminosity curves coming from type I x-ray bursts (XRBs). With very little experimental information known on many of the reactions within the αp-process, stellar rates are calculated using a statistical model, such as Hauser-Feshbach. Questions on the applicability of a Hauser-Feshbach model for the ³⁴Ar (α,p) ³⁷K reaction arise due to level density considerations in themore »« less

Low energy scattering cross section ratios of ${}^{14}N (p, p) {}^{14}N$

Journal Article deBoer, R. J. ; Bardayan, D. W. ; Görres, J. ; ... - Physical Review C, Nuclear Physics

Background: The slowest reaction in the first CNO cycle is ¹⁴N(p, γ) ¹⁵O, therefore its rate determines the overall energy production efficiency of the entire cycle. The cross section presents several strong resonance contributions, especially for the ground-state transition. Some of the properties of the corresponding levels in the ¹⁵O compound nucleus remain uncertain, which affects the uncertainty in extrapolating the capture cross section to the low energy range of astrophysical interest. Purpose: The ¹⁴N (p, γ) ¹⁵O cross section can be described by using the phenomenological R matrix. Over the energy range of interest, only the proton and γ-raymore »« less

Experimental study of the astrophysically important ${}^{23}{Na} (α, p) {}^{26}{Mg}$ and ${}^{23}{Na} (α, n) {}^{26}{Al}$ reactions

Journal Article Avila, M. L. ; Rehm, K. E. ; Almaraz-Calderon, S. ; ... - Physical Review C

The ²³Na(α,p) ²⁶Mg and ²³Na(α,n) ²⁶Al reactions are important for our understanding of the ²⁶Al abundance in massive stars. The aim of this work is to report on a direct and simultaneous measurement of these astrophysically important reactions using an active target system. The reactions were investigated in inverse kinematics using ⁴He as the active target gas in the detector. We measured the excitation functions in the energy range of about 2 to 6 MeV in the center of mass. We have found that the cross sections of the ²³Na(α,p) ²⁶Mg and the ²³Na(α,n) ²⁶Al reactions are in good agreementmore »« less

Experimental study of ${}^{38}{Ar} + α$ reaction cross sections relevant to the ${}^{41}{Ca}$ abundance in the solar system [Experimental study of ${}^{38}{Ar} + α$ induced cross sections relevant to the ${}^{41}{Ca}$ abundance in the solar system]

Journal Article Talwar, R. ; Bojazi, M. J. ; Mohr, P. ; ... - Physical Review C

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 ≤ E_c.m. ≤ 9.3more »« less
