The Ca-40(alpha, gamma)(44) Ti reaction is believed to be the main production channel for the radioactive nuclide Ti-44 in core-collapse supernovae. Radiation from decaying Ti-44 has been observed so far two supernova remnants, and precise knowledge of the Ti-44 production rate may help improve supernova models. The Ca-40(alpha, gamma)(44) Ti astrophysical reaction rate is determined by a number of narrow resonances. Here, the resonance triplet at E-alpha = 4497, 4510, and 4523 keV is studied both by activation, using an underground laboratory for the gamma counting, nuclear reactions. The strengths of the three resonances are determined to be omega gamma = (0.92 +/- 0.20), (6.2 +/- 0.5), and (1.32 +/- 0.24) eV, respectively, a factor of 2 more precise than before. The strengths of this resonance triplet may be used in future works as a point of reference. In addition, the present new data directly affect the astrophysical reaction rate at relatively high temperatures (above 3.5 GK).

Tailoring pulsed laser deposition fabricated copper oxide film by controlling plasma parameters

Lenka Volfova, Stefan Andrei Irimiciuc, Sergii Chertopalov, Petr Hruska, Jakub Cizek, Martin Vondracek, Michal Novotny, Maik Butterling, Maciej Oskar Liedke, Andreas Wagner, Jan Lancok

Summary: The influence of oxygen pressure on the structural and physical properties of various copper oxide phases grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) on MgO (100) was investigated. Positron annihilation spectroscopy revealed the presence of positrons trapped at vacancies and large vacancy clusters with lifetimes ranging from 400 ps to 500 ps. Single copper vacancies were found in the CuO phase, while copper vacancy complexes coupled with oxygen vacancies were observed in the Cu2O phase. Suitable O-2 atmosphere conditions that induced a mixture of copper oxide phases were identified. In situ diagnostic techniques based on Optical Emission Spectroscopy and Langmuir Probe were used to monitor the deposition process and correlate with film properties.

Summary: Studies of charged-particle reactions for low-energy nuclear astrophysics require high sensitivity and low backgrounds. High-efficiency total absorption spectroscopy combined with cosmic background reduction at LUNA is a powerful tool for studying radiative capture reactions. This study presents improvements in the detection setup with the BGO detector at LUNA, resulting in enhanced sensitivity and demonstrating its applications in direct measurement and background suppression.

Summary: The research reported on the alternative light readout scheme using silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) for the NeuLAND neutron detector. The SiPM-based prototype showed high efficiency and picosecond-level timing resolution, meeting the requirements of the NeuLAND detector. The gain, dark rate, and linearity of the SiPM were also found to be satisfactory.

Millisecond flash lamp curing for porosity generation in thin films

Ahmed G. Attallah, Slawomir Prucnal, Maik Buttering, Eric Hirschmann, Nicole Koehler, Stefan E. Schulz, Andreas Wagner, Maciej O. Liedke

Summary: Flash lamp annealing (FLA) is a new curing method for pore precursor's degradation in thin films. A case study on the curing of dielectric thin films is presented. FLA-cured films are being investigated by means of positron annihilation spectroscopy (PAS) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy in order to quantify the nm-scale porosity and post-treatment chemistry, respectively. Results suggest that FLA is able to decompose the porogen and generate interconnected or isolated pore networks with self-sealed pores. FTIR results demonstrate the structural evolution after FLA and Raman spectroscopy suggests the development of a self-sealing layer.

Vacancy complexes in Cd3As2

A. D. Rice, M. O. Liedke, M. Butterling, E. Hirschmann, A. Wagner, N. M. Haegel, K. Alberi

Summary: Epitaxial growth of Cd3As2 on semiconductor substrates allows its use and integration in devices, and also provides a way to control point defects. Positron annihilation spectroscopy is used to investigate the point defects in Cd3As2 epilayers grown with varying As/Cd flux ratios by molecular beam epitaxy. The results reveal that lower As/Cd flux ratios result in higher concentrations of point defects, and the average defect size is larger than a monovacancy. This data contributes to understanding vacancy point defects in Cd3As2 and can guide future research on defect-transport relationships in this material.

Summary: The NEAR Station at CERN's n_TOF Facility has been developed as a new experimental area. After installing the new n_TOF Spallation Target, the activation station of NEAR underwent beam characterization through simulations and experimental verification. The neutron spectrum was determined using activation techniques with three different set-ups, and the plans and future prospects of the NEAR activation station are also discussed.

Progress in the Evaluation and Validation of n+Fe-56,Fe-57 Cross Sections

Summary: Since 2019, the IAEA INDEN collaboration has been working on improving the evaluation of neutron induced reactions on iron isotopes. It was found that the underestimation of neutron leakage spectrum from a thick iron sphere by 30% was primarily due to the overestimation of inelastic cross sections in the Fe-56 evaluated data file. The over-estimation of neutron flux near 300 keV was traced to neglecting the fluctuating nature of the total cross section of Fe-57 in the fast neutron energy range.

Summary: Several international agencies recommend studying new routes and facilities for producing radioisotopes for nuclear medicine. Lu-177 is a versatile radioisotope used in the therapy and diagnosis of various cancers, and there is ongoing research to expand its applications. The production of Lu-177 can currently be achieved through neutron capture on Lu-176 in nuclear reactors, but there is potential for high-intensity accelerator-based neutron facilities. This article presents the first results of a Yb-176 capture measurement performed at the n_TOF facility at CERN.

Summary: An underground measurement of the 12C(p,γ)13N cross section is reported, which is the onset process of both the CNO and hot CNO cycles that drive nucleosynthesis in various stellar systems. The results obtained suggest a lower 12C(p,γ)13N rate compared to literature, impacting the final abundances of carbon isotopes and the s-process neutron source strength. The study also reveals the energy and widths of the first excited state of 13N, providing valuable information for nuclear reaction modeling.

LUNA measurement found no evidence of a low-energy resonance in 6Li(p,γ)7Be reaction

D. Piatti

Summary: The Li-6(p,gamma)Be-7 reaction plays important roles in three nucleosynthesis scenarios. However, the trend of Li-6(p,gamma)Be-7 S-factor at astrophysical energies was poorly constrained due to conflicting experimental results. A recent direct measurement found a resonance-like structure, but it has not been confirmed by other measurements or theoretical calculations. A new experiment at LUNA was conducted to clarify the existence of this resonance, and the results showed no evidence for it. These findings were supported by an indirect determination and a theoretical study.

Towards a direct measurement of the 17O(p, γ)18F 65 keV resonance strength at LUNA

D. Piatti, G. F. Ciani

Summary: The O-17(p,gamma)F-18 reaction is important for hydrogen burning in various stellar scenarios. The 65 keV resonance, which contributes significantly to the astrophysical reaction rate, is poorly constrained and only determined through indirect measurements. The LUNA collaboration has developed a high sensitivity setup at the underground location of the LUNA facility to overcome the challenges of directly measuring this resonance.

Deuterium burning measurement at LUNA and its astrophysical and nuclear implications

Francesca Cavanna

Summary: The deuterium burning reaction D(p,gamma)He-3 at low energies is important in cosmology as it affects the primordial deuterium abundance and can test ab-initio calculations in theoretical nuclear physics. A recent study of this reaction in the 30 ≤ E-cm[keV] ≤ 280 energy range was presented, conducted by the LUNA collaboration in the Gran Sasso Laboratory. The need for new and precise measurements of the D(d,n)He-3 and D(d,p)H-3 reactions was also discussed.
