Preliminary measurement of the He(α,γ)Be cross section
The current uncertainty of the He(α,γ)Be cross section greatly hinders the understanding of the high-energy solar neutrino flux from the Be(p,γ)B reaction and, thus, is significantly important in the verification of the Standard Solar Model. I present the results of my efforts this summer in assisting the group lead by Kurt Snover to prepare for a high-precision measurement of the He(α,γ)Be cro...
متن کاملSe p 20 08 The 3 He ( α , γ ) 7 Be S - factor at solar energies : the prompt γ experiment at LUNA
The 3He(α,γ)7Be process is a key reaction in both Big-Bang nucleosynthesis and p-p chain of Hydrogen Burning in Stars. A new measurement of the 3He(α,γ)7Be cross section has been performed at the INFN Gran Sasso underground laboratory by both the activation and the prompt γ detection methods. The present work reports full details of the prompt γ detection experiment, focusing on the determiPrep...
متن کاملX iv : n uc l - ex / 0 41 00 36 v 1 2 5 O ct 2 00 4 1 Branching ratio measurements of the 7 . 12 - MeV state in 16
Knowledge of the γ-ray branching ratios of the 7.12-MeV state of 16 O is important for the extrapolation of the 12 C(α,γ) 16 O cross section to astrophysical energies. Ground state transitions provide most of the 12 C(α,γ) 16 O total cross section while cascade transitions have contributions of the order of 10-20%. Determining the 7.12 → 6.92-MeV branching ratio will also result in a better ext...
متن کاملJ un 1 99 3 1 Alpha scattering and capture reactions in the A = 7 system at low energies
Differential cross sections for 3 He-α scattering were measured in the energy range up to 3 MeV. These data together with other available experimental results for 3 He +α and 3 H +α scattering were analyzed in the framework of the optical model using double-folded potentials. The optical potentials obtained were used to calculate the astrophysical S-factors of the capture reactions 3 He(α, γ) 7...
متن کاملSolution of the α-potential mystery in the γ process and its impact on the Nd/Sm ratio in meteorites.
The 146Sm/144Sm ratio in the early solar system has been constrained by Nd/Sm isotope ratios in meteoritic material. Predictions of 146Sm and 144Sm production in the γ process in massive stars are at odds with these constraints, and this is partly due to deficiencies in the prediction of the reaction rates involved. The production ratio depends almost exclusively on the (γ,n)/(γ,α) branching at...
متن کاملExperimental cross section of 144 Sm ( α , γ ) 148 Gd and implications for the p - process
The cross section of the Sm(α, γ)Gd reaction has been measured at bombarding energies in the 10.513.4MeV range using an activationmethod based on the off-line α-activity measurement of the Gd residual nucleus. The long measuring time of the α-decay has required the use of etched track detectors. The resulting cross sections and astrophysical S-factors are compared to new statistical model calcu...
