Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on 26Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars (2024)
Journal Article
Battino, U., Roberti, L., Lawson, T. V., Laird, A. M., & Todd, L. (2024). Impact of Newly Measured Nuclear Reaction Rates on 26Al Ejected Yields from Massive Stars. Universe, 10(5), Article 204. https://doi.org/10.3390/universe10050204

Over the last three years, the rates of all the main nuclear reactions involving the destruction and production of 26Al in stars (26Al(n, p)26Mg, 26Al(n, α)23Na, 26Al(p, γ)27Si and 25Mg(p, γ)26Al) have been re-evaluated thanks to new high-precision e...

Journal Article
Battino, U., Lederer-Woods, C., Pignatari, M., Soós, B., Lugaro, M., Vescovi, D., Cristallo, S., Woods, P. J., & Karakas, A. (2023). Impact of newly measured 26Al(n, p)26Mg and 26Al(n, α)23Na reaction rates on the nucleosynthesis of 26Al in stars. Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 520(2), 2436-2444. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad106

The cosmic production of the short-lived radioactive nuclide 26Al is crucial for our understanding of the evolution of stars and galaxies. However, simulations of the stellar sites producing 26Al are still weakened by significant nuclear uncertaintie...

The NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set (2022)
Journal Article
Battino, U., Pignatari, M., Tattersall, A., Denissenkov, P., & Herwig, F. (2022). The NuGrid AGB Evolution and Nucleosynthesis Data Set. Universe, 8(3), Article 170. https://doi.org/10.3390/universe8030170

Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars play a key role in the chemical evolution of galaxies. These stars are the fundamental stellar site for the production of light elements such as C, N and F, and half of the elements heavier than Fe via the slow neu...

(Li 6, d) and (Li 6, t) reactions on Ne 22 and implications for s -process nucleosynthesis (2021)
Journal Article
Ota, S., Christian, G., Catford, W. N., Lotay, G., Pignatari, M., Battino, U., …Wilkinson, R. (2021). (Li 6, d) and (Li 6, t) reactions on Ne 22 and implications for s -process nucleosynthesis. Physical Review C, 104(5), Article 055806. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.104.055806

We studied α cluster states in Mg26 via the Ne22(Li6,dγ)Mg26 reaction in inverse kinematics at an energy of 7 MeV/nucleon. States between Ex = 4-14 MeV in Mg26 were populated and relative α spectroscopic factors were determined. Some of these states...
