Studying astrophysical reactions with low-energy RI beams at CRIB (original) (raw)
2016, EPJ Web of Conferences
Studies on nuclear astrophysics, nuclear structure, and other interests have been performed using the radioactive-isotope (RI) beams at the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB, operated by Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo. A typical measurement performed at CRIB is the elastic resonant scattering with the inverse kinematics. One recent experiment was on the α resonant scattering with 7 Li and 7 Be beams. This study is related to the astrophysical 7 Li/ 7 Be(α,γ) reactions, important at hot p-p chain and νp-process in supernovae. There have also been measurements based on other experimental methods. The first THM measurement using an RI beam has been performed at CRIB, to study the 18 F(p, α) 15 O reaction at astrophysical energies via the three body reaction 2 H(18 F, α 15 O)n. The 18 F(p, α) 15 O reaction rate is crucial to understand the 511-keV γ-ray production in nova explosion phenomena, and we successfully evaluated the reaction cross section at novae temperature and below experimentally for the first time.

Nuclear astrophysics projects at the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Studies on nuclear reactions relevant for astrophysics have been performed using the radioactive-isotope (RI) beams at the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB, operated by Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo. A type of measurement to study astrophysical reactions at CRIB is by the elastic resonant scattering with the thick-target method in inverse kinematics. We introduce the α resonant scattering with 7 Be beam, related to the astrophysical 7 Be(α,γ) reactions, which is relevant in the hot p-p chain and νp-process in supernovae. Other α resonant scattering measurements with 30 S, 10 Be, 15 O, and 18 Ne beams have been performed at CRIB, using the thick-target method.
Studies on Nuclear Astrophysics and Exotic Structure at the Low-Energy RI Beam Facility CRIB
Proceedings of the Conference on Advances in Radioactive Isotope Science (ARIS2014), 2015
Studies on nuclear astrophysics, resonant structure, and nuclear reaction are going on at CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator), a low-energy RI beam separator operated by Center for Nuclear Study (CNS), the University of Tokyo. Two major methods used at CRIB to study nuclear reactions of astrophysical relevance are the resonant scattering, and direct measurements of (α,p) reactions using a thick-gas target. Several experiments for decay measurements and reaction mechanism are also performed using low-energy RI beams at CRIB. Some of the results from recent experiments at CRIB are discussed.
Progress In Nuclear Astrophysics Using Secondary Radioactive Beams
Revista Mexicana de Fisica
We review progress in studying two central problems in Nuclear Astrophysics: The \be7pg reaction is one of the major source of uncertainties in estimating the \b8 solar neutrino flux and is critical for the Solar Neutrino Problem. We discuss a newly emerging method to extract this cross section from the Coulomb dissociation of the radioactive beam of \b8. The Coulomb dissociation appears to provide a viable alternative method for measuring the \be7pg reaction rate. Several attempts to constrain the p-wave S-factor of the \c12ag reaction at Helium burning temperatures (200 MK) using the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission of \n16 have been made, and it is claimed that this S-factor is known, as quoted by the TRIUMF collaboration. In contrast reanalyses (by G.M. hale) of all thus far available data (including the \n16 data) does not rule out a small S-factor solution. Furthermore, we improved our previous Yale-UConn study of the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission of \n16. Our newly...
Studies on alpha-induced astrophysical reactions using the low-energy RI beam separator CRIB
Several alpha-induced astrophysical reactions have been studied at CRIB (CNS Radioactive Ion Beam separator), which is a low-energy RI beam separator at Center for Nuclear Study (CNS) of the University of Tokyo. Two major methods to study them are the α resonant scattering, and direct measurements of (α,p) reactions using an active or inactive helium gas target. Among the recent studies at CRIB, the measurement of 7 Be+α resonant scattering is discussed.
Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive beams
Nuclear Physics A, 2002
The quest to comprehend how nuclear processes influence astrophysical phenomena is driving experimental and theoretical research programs worldwide. One of the main goals in nuclear astrophysics is to understand how energy is generated in stars, how elements are synthesized in stellar events and what the nature of neutron stars is. New experimental capabilities, the availability of radioactive beams and increased computational power paired with new astronomical observations have advanced the present knowledge. This review summarizes the progress in the field of nuclear astrophysics with a focus on the role of indirect methods and reactions involving beams of rare isotopes.

Nuclear reactions in stars are difficult to measure directly in the laboratory at the small astrophysical energies. In recent years indirect methods with rare isotopes have been developed and applied to extract low-energy astrophysical cross sections .
Nuclear astrophysics with secondary (Radioactive) beams
Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 1993
Some problems in nuclear astrophysics are discussed with emphasize on the ones central to the field which were not solved over the last two decades, including Helium Burning in massive stars (the 12 C(α, γ) 16 O reaction) and the 8 B Solar Neutrino Flux Problem (the 7 Be(p, γ) 8 B reaction). We demonstrate that a great deal of progress was achieved by measuring the time reverse process(es): the beta-delayed alpha-particle emission of 16 N and the Coulomb dissociation of 8 B, using Radioactive Beams (of 16 N and 8 B). In this way an amplification of the sought for cross section was achieved, allowing a measurement of the small cross section(s) of relevance for stellar (solar) processes.
