39. Nuclear Astrophysics at the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Lab

Daniel Bardayan

6/10/24, 3:00 PM

There is a distinguished history of nuclear astrophysics research at the Notre Dame Nuclear Science Lab (NSL). This has been fostered by University investment and strong support from the National Science Foundation. The NSL provides the research base for some 20 Notre Dame faculty members and approximately 35 graduate students as well as supporting the research programs of a number of...

45. Unveiling Stellar Secrets: Advancements in Alpha-Induced Reaction Studies with the Multi Sampling Ionization Chamber Detector (MUSIC)

Eilens Lopez Saavedra

Several $\alpha$-induced reactions on both stable and radioactive isotopes play a crucial role in nuclear astrophysics, significantly contributing to the nucleosynthesis of light elements in the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) within neutrino-driven winds post core-collapse supernovae and in X-ray burst nucleosynthesis. However, direct measurements of these reactions at relevant...

43. New progress in the experimental studies of the $^{46}$Mn $\beta^+$ decay channel

Mr David Godos Valencia (IF-UNAM, CEAFMC - Universidad de Huelva)

6/10/24, 4:00 PM

The $^{44}$Ti nucleosynthesis takes place in Core Collapse Supernova (CCSN) explosions, the final process suffered by stars with initial mass greater than 8 M$_\odot$. This, alongside its characteristic gamma decay chain, turns the isotope into a good gamma tracer of Supernovae events. Besides, the comparison between observations and models of the synthesized $^{44}$Ti in CCSN gives important...
