Thermonuclear Ti-42(p, gamma)V-43 rate in type-I x-ray bursts
(2014-03-05)
The thermonuclear rate of the Ti-42(p, gamma)V-43 reaction has been reevaluated based on a recent precise proton separation energy measurement of S-p(V-43) = 83 +/- 43 keV. The astrophysical impact of our new rates has ...
Investigation of alpha-induced reactions on Ba-130 and Ba-132 and their importance for the synthesis of heavy p nuclei
(2012-02-17)
Captures of a particles on the proton-richest barium isotope, Ba-130, have been studied in order to provide cross-section data for the modeling of the astrophysical gamma process. The cross sections of the Ba-130(alpha,g ...
Reaction rate sensitivity of Ti-44 production in massive stars and implications of a thick target yield measurement of Ca-40(alpha, gamma)Ti-44
(2010-06-01)
We evaluate two dominant nuclear reaction rates and their uncertainties that affect Ti-44 production in explosive nucleosynthesis. Experimentally we develop thick target yields for the Ca-40(alpha, gamma)Ti-44 reaction at ...
Stellar (n,gamma) cross sections of p-process isotopes Part I: Pd-102, Te-120, Ba-130,Ba-132, and Dy-156
(2010-01)
We have investigated the (n,gamma) cross sections of p-process isotopes with the activation technique. The measurements were carried out at the Karlsruhe Van de Graaff accelerator using the Li-7(p, n) Be-7 source for ...
