Alpha-particle transfer from 6Li to 28Si leading to high excitation of 32S
2006
The excitation of 32S to energies from 24 to 37 MeV followed by its decay to 28Si has been brought about by the two-step alpha transfer reaction 28Si(6Li,d)32S*→α+28Si. A sudden perishing of the decay to the 28Si ground state occurs at 31 MeV of excitation. At about the same energy an increase in the decay to the first excited 2+ state is observed. The yields of 28Si in its ground state or excited to the 21+ and 41+ state prohibit strong fluctuations. This supports the assumption of the existence of states at high excitation in 32S. The results are based on d–α coincidences, which were found to exhibit a strong forward–backward correlation.
New High-Precision Measurement of the Reaction Rate of the 18O(p, α)15N Reaction via THM
2008
The 18O(p,alpha)15N reaction rate has been extracted by means of the Trojan-Horse method. For the first time the contribution of the 20-keV peak has been directly evaluated, giving a value about 35% larger than previously estimated. The present approach has allowed to improve the accuracy of a factor 8.5, as it is based on the measured strength instead of educated guesses or spectroscopic measurements. The contribution of the 90-keV resonance has been determined as well, which turned out to be of negligible importance to astrophysics.
