چکیده

The 18O(p,alpha)15N reaction is of primary importance in several astrophysical scenarios, including fluorine nucleosynthesis inside asymptotic giant branch stars as well as oxygen and nitrogen isotopic ratios in meteorite grains. Thus the indirect measurement of the low energy region of the 18O(p,alpha)15N reaction has been performed to reduce the nuclear uncertainty on theoretical predictions. In particular the strength of the 20 and 90 keV resonances has been deduced and the change in the reaction rate evaluated.

Astrophysical S ( E ) factor of the 15 N ( p , α ) 12 C reaction at sub - Coulomb energies via the Trojan horse method

The low-energy bare-nucleus cross section for 15N(p, α)12C is extracted by means of the Trojan horse method applied to the 2H(15N,α12C)n reaction at Ebeam = 60 MeV. For the first time we applied the modified half-offenergy-shell resonant R-matrix method that takes into account off-energy-shell effects and initialand final-state interactions. In particular it has been shown that inclusion of Cou...

Transfer Reactions and Trojan Horse Method

It is pointed out that the Trojan-Horse method is a suitable tool to investigate subthreshold resonances. TRANSFER REACTIONS AND TROJAN HORSE METHOD A similarity between cross sections for two-body and closely related three-body reactions under certain kinematical conditions [1] led to the introduction of the Trojan-Horse method [2, 3, 4]. In this indirect approach a two-body reaction

ELT: A Trojan Horse in Disguise?

Many people believe that language teaching is a neutral practice. However, this belief is not without its own opponents. To many scholars, teaching languages cannot be devoid of teaching cultural values of the target language, which tacitly aims at denigrating cultural values of the community of the learners who are learning it. The ultimate purpose of such cultural oppression, according to the...

A Trojan Horse Approach to the Production of F in Novae

Crucial information on nova nucleosynthesis can be potentially inferred from γ-ray signals powered by F decay. Therefore, the reaction network producing and destroying this radioactive isotope has been extensively studied in the last years. Among those reactions, the F(p,α)O cross section has been measured by means of several dedicated experiments, both using direct and indirect methods. The pr...

Extraction of Astrophysical Cross Sections in the Trojan-Horse Method

The Trojan-horse method has been proposed to extract S-matrix elements of a two-body reaction at astrophysical energies from a related reaction with three particles in the ®nal state. This should be useful in cases where the direct measurement of the two-body reaction at the necessary low energies is experimentally dif®cult. The formalism of the Trojan-horse method for nuclear reactions is deve...
