An approach is presented to experimentally constrain previously unreachable (p,gamma) reaction rates on nuclei far from stability in the astrophysical rp process. Energies of all critical resonances in the Cu-57(p,gamma)Zn-58 reaction are deduced by populating states in Zn-58 with a (d, n) reaction in inverse kinematics at 75 MeV/u, and detecting.-ray-recoil coincidences with the state-of-the-art gamma-ray tracking array GRETINA and the S800 spectrograph at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. The results reduce the uncertainty in the Cu-57(p,gamma) reaction rate by several orders of magnitude. The effective lifetime of Ni-56, an important waiting point in the rp process in x-ray bursts, can now be determined entirely from experimentally constrained reaction rates.

Design and construction of a novel energy-loss optical scintillation system (ELOSS) for heavy-ion particle identification

M. Cortesi, S. Dziubinski, A. Gade, R. Zegers, J. Pereira, J. Asciutto, S. Lidia, D. Bazin

Summary: This article presents the development of a novel heavy-ion particle-identification (PID) device based on energy-loss measurement to be used in the S800 spectrograph at the FRIB facility. The new instrument, called ELOSS, consists of a segmented optical detector filled with xenon, surrounded by photomultiplier tubes. It is expected to provide high-resolution AE measurements and timing information, which will have a significant impact on the design and implementation of rare-isotope beam experiments.

Simulations and analysis tools for charge-exchange (d, 2He) reactions in inverse kinematics with the AT-TPC

S. Giraud, J. C. Zamora, R. G. T. Zegers, Y. Ayyad, D. Bazin, W. Mittig, A. Carls, M. DeNudt, Z. Rahman

Summary: Charge-exchange (d,2He) reactions in inverse kinematics at intermediate energies are a promising method for studying Gamow-Teller transition strength in unstable nuclei. A simulation and analysis software based on the ATTPCROOT package was developed to investigate such reactions using the AT-TPC. The software allows for realistic detector response simulation, development of analysis tools, and investigation of space-charge effects in track reconstruction.

Summary: For the first time, the (d, 2He) reaction was successfully used in inverse kinematics to extract the Gamow-Teller transition strength in the & beta; thorn direction from an unstable nucleus. The new technique opens a path to addressing a range of scientific challenges, including in astrophysics and neutrino physics. In this study, the nucleus 14O was examined and its Gamow-Teller transition strength to 14N was extracted, providing insights into the quenching phenomenon.

Siesling, T. Steinbach, T. Stora, M. Vermeulen, D. Voulot, N. Warr, F. J. C. Wenander

Summary: The unstable nucleus 72Zn with N=42 was studied using multiple safe Coulomb excitation in inverse kinematics. The ground state of 72Zn was found to have an average deformation in the gamma degree of freedom close to maximum triaxiality. The collectivity of the 4+1 state in neutron-rich 72Zn is significantly larger compared to zinc isotopes with N < 40.

Berg, Jeff Blackmon, Kelly Chipps, Manoel Couder, Catherine Deibel, Nikolaos Dimitrakopoulos, Ruchi Garg, Uwe Greife, Kirby Hermansen, Ashley Hood, Rahul Jain, Cavan Maher, Caleb Marshall, Zach Meisel, Sara Miskovich, Fernando Montes, Georgios Perdikakis, Jorge Pereira, Thomas Ruland, Hendrik Schatz, Kiana Setoodehnia, Michael Smith, Louis Wagner, Remco G. T. Zegers

Summary: The formation of nuclei in slightly proton-rich regions of neutrino-driven wind in core-collapse supernovae can be explained by the neutrino-p process (nu p-process). Recent studies have identified key (n,p) reactions that control the efficiency of the nu p-process. Measurement of a (n,p) reaction in inverse kinematics was performed with SECAR at NSCL/FRIB, which is difficult due to the nearly identical masses of recoils and unreacted projectiles. The development of new ion beam optics and the installation of a neutron detection system were necessary for this measurement.

Summary: Nuclear fission is a complex physical process with macroscopic and microscopic nuclear properties playing a role in determining the outcome. The presence of nuclear dissipation has a significant impact on the process, but it is poorly understood due to different theoretical interpretations and limited experimental data. This study presents the first experimental determination of dissipation energy in fission, revealing the influence of particular nuclear shells on dissipation and fission dynamics.

Hexadecapole strength in the rare isotopes 74,76Kr

M. Spieker, S. E. Agbemava, D. Bazin, S. Biswas, P. D. Cottle, P. J. Farris, A. Gade, T. Ginter, S. Giraud, K. W. Kemper, J. Li, W. Nazarewicz, S. Noji, J. Pereira, L. A. Riley, M. Smith, D. Weisshaar, R. G. T. Zegers

Summary: Inelastic proton scattering experiments in inverse kinematics were performed on the rare isotopes 74,76Kr to study their structure. The focus was on the J pi = 4+1 states and the hexadecapole degree of freedom. By performing coupled-channels calculations, deformation parameters /34 for the Kr isotopes were determined, and two possible solutions were found. Comparisons to predictions from nuclear energy density functional theory favored large, positive /34 solutions, which are linked to well deformed prolate configurations. The /34 values may serve as sensitive measures of the nuclear shell structure.

Summary: The total cross section of the 82Kr(p, gamma)83Rb reaction was measured for the first time at effective center-of-mass energies between 2.4 and 3.0 MeV, which are relevant to the astrophysical gamma process. The experiment was conducted using the ReA facility at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory in Michigan State University. A 82Kr beam was directed onto a hydrogen gas cell located at the center of the Summing NaI(Tl) (SuN) detector. The obtained spectra were analyzed using the gamma-summing technique, revealing that the standard statistical model calculations overestimate the cross section of the 82Kr(p, gamma)83Rb reaction compared to the experimental measurements. The experimental data also provided additional constraints on the nuclear level density and the gamma-ray strength function used in the statistical model calculations.

Relative population of states in 21Mg from few-nucleon removal reactions

B. Longfellow, A. Gade, D. Bazin, P. C. Bender, M. Bowry, B. A. Brown, B. Elman, E. Lunderberg, D. Rhodes, M. Spieker, D. Weisshaar, S. J. Williams

Summary: Intermediate-energy nuclear reactions involving the removal of three, four, and five nucleons can proceed through nondissipative and statistical processes. In this experiment at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory, gamma-ray spectroscopy was used to study few-nucleon removal reactions from different projectile beams to the same reaction product. The results showed significant differences in the population of states in the reaction product, which were correlated with the spins of the states. This intermediate regime may have the potential to produce unique level populations in fast-beam experiments and alter isomer to ground state ratios.

Summary: The heavy-ion inelastic scattering of neutron-rich nucleus 29Ne to its excited states was studied using a 100.1 MeV/u 29Ne rare isotope beam. The simultaneous measurements of the two inelastic reactions were conducted, providing the first measurement of transition strengths for this isotope. A significant E2 strength in the excitation to the 931-keV state was observed, indicating a large degree of collectivity.

Summary: When a highly excited nucleus in a high-spin state cannot conserve angular momentum through neutron emission, it undergoes de-excitation via gamma-ray emission instead. The spin inhibition phenomenon provides insights into the compound nucleus structure and the distribution of spin states in compound nuclear reactions.
