Low-lying level structure of Cu56 and its implications for the rp process
2017
The low-lying energy levels of proton-rich Cu56 have been extracted using in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with the state-of-the-art γ-ray tracking array GRETINA in conjunction with the S800 spectrograph at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. Excited states in Cu56 serve as resonances in the Ni55(p,γ)Cu56 reaction, which is a part of the rp process in type-I x-ray bursts. To resolve existing ambiguities in the reaction Q value, a more localized isobaric multiplet mass equation (IMME) fit is used, resulting in Q=639±82 keV. We derive the first experimentally constrained thermonuclear reaction rate for Ni55(p,γ)Cu56. We find that, with this new rate, the …
White paper: from bound states to the continuum
2020
This white paper reports on the discussions of the 2018 Facility for Rare Isotope Beams Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA) topical program ‘From bound states to the continuum: Connecting bound state calculations with scattering and reaction theory’. One of the biggest and most important frontiers in nuclear theory today is to construct better and stronger bridges between bound state calculations and calculations in the continuum, especially scattering and reaction theory, as well as teasing out the influence of the continuum on states near threshold. This is particularly challenging as many-body structure calculations typically use a bound state basis, while reaction calculations more commonly utili…
High-resolution study of Gamow-Teller transitions in the47Ti(3He,t)47V reaction
2013
In this work we have studied ${T}_{z}=+2\ensuremath{\rightarrow}+1$, Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in the $^{48}\mathrm{Ti}(^{3}\mathrm{He},t)^{48}\mathrm{V}$ charge-exchange reaction at 140 MeV/nucleon and ${0}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics, Osaka. From the high-resolution facility, consisting of a high-dispersion beamline and the Grand Raiden spectrometer, the spectrum had an energy resolution of 21 keV, among the best achieved. Individual GT transitions were observed and GT strength was derived for each state populated up to an excitation energy of 12 MeV. The total sum of the $B$(GT) strength observed in discrete states was 4.0, which is 33% of the sum…

Gamow-Teller transitions in theA=40isoquintet of relevance for neutrino captures inAr40
2014
Background: The Gamow-Teller response of $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$ is important for the use of liquid argon as a medium for neutrino detection. An ambiguity about the Gamow-Teller strength for the excitation of ${1}^{+}$ states at 2290 and 2730 keV in $^{40}\mathrm{K}$ results in a significant uncertainty for neutrino capture rates. This ambiguity is caused by the large discrepancy observed between strengths extracted from $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$($p$, $n$) charge-exchange data and the transition strengths for the analog transitions studied in the $\ensuremath{\beta}$ decay of $^{40}\mathrm{Ti}$.Purpose: This study was aimed at resolving the ambiguity between the results from the $^{40}\mathrm{Ar}$($p$,…
