چکیده
A new measurement of the cross section of Be(p, γ)B will be done in inverted kinematics with the recoil separator ERNA at the CIRCE laboratory in Caserta, Italy. The B recoils will be produced in a windowless hydrogen gas target. We report here on the construction and characterization of the gas cell. In detail we describe measurements for target density, the profile determination via the Li(p, p′)7Li∗ reaction as well as the role and performance of a gaseous post-stripper.

Recoil separator ERNA: charge state distribution, target density, beam heating, and longitudinal acceptance
For improved cross section measurements of the reaction Cða; gÞO in inverted kinematics, a recoil separator ERNA is developed at the 4MV Dynamitron tandem accelerator in Bochum to detect directly the O recoils with high efficiency. The O recoils are produced by the C projectiles in a windowless He gas target. We report on the charge state distribution of the O recoils, the gas target density, t...
متن کاملAbsolute resonance strengths in the 6 , 7 Li ( α , γ ) 10 , 11 B reactions
The absolute strengths of the Eα = 1175 keV resonance in the 6 Li(α, γ) 10 B reaction and of the Eα = 814 keV resonance in the 7 Li(α, γ) 11 B reaction have been measured to ωγ = 366 ± 38 meV and ωγ = 300 ± 32 meV, respectively, in good agreement with previous values. These resonances can be used to measure the absolute acceptance of the recoil separator ERNA to a precision of about 10%.

A recoil mass separator has been designed for the purpose of studying low energy ða; gÞ reactions in inverse kinematics for beam masses up to about A 1⁄4 40. Their reaction rates are of importance for our understanding of energy production and nucleosynthesis during stellar and explosive helium burning. The reactions take place in a windowless He gas target at the beginning of the separator whi...
