First Direct Measurement of the 17 F ( p , γ ) 18 Ne Cross Section
نویسنده
چکیده
The rate of the 17F(p,γ)18Ne reaction is of significant importance in astrophysical events like novae and x-ray bursts. The decay of 17F is thought to help drive the expansion of the nova envelope, and the 17F(p,γ)18Ne reaction affects the production of 18F, a target of gamma-ray astronomy, as well as being an important link in the (α ,p) reaction chain during the ignition phase of x-ray bursts. A 3+ state in 18Ne predicted to dominate the rate was found at 599.8 keV using the 17F(p,p)17F reaction [1], but the resonance strength was unknown. For the first time, the 17F(p,γ)18Ne reaction has been measured directly with the Daresbury Recoil Separator, using a mixed beam of radioactive 17F and stable 17O from the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A γ width was found for the 599.8 keV resonance in 18Ne, and an upper limit on the direct capture S factor was determined at an intermediate energy of 800 keV.

In stars with temperatures above 20·10 K, hydrogen burning is dominated by the CNO cycle. Its rate is determined by the slowest process, the N(p,γ)O reaction. Deep underground in Italy’s Gran Sasso laboratory, at the LUNA 400 kV accelerator, the cross section of this reaction has been measured at energies much lower than ever achieved before. Using a windowless gas target and a 4π BGO summing d...

In the present work, the total cross-section for the ionization of H, He, Ne and Ar atoms by +He2+ ، H+ ، Li3 ions has been calculated. In these calculations, a binary encounter approximation in the form of a two-body process between projectile ions and atomic electrons at the high energy range has been implemented. In order to enter the nuclear role of the target atom, the atomic electron vel...
