Background: The ²²Ne(α,n) ²⁵Mg reaction is the dominant neutron source for the slow neutron capture process (s process) in massive stars, and contributes, together with C¹³(α,n)O¹⁶, to the production of neutrons for the s process in asymptotic giant...

Neutrons produced by the carbon fusion reaction ¹²C(¹²C,n)²³Mg play an important role in stellar nucleosynthesis. However, past studies have shown large discrepancies between experimental data and theory, leading to an uncertain cross section extrapo...

Constraining the 12C+12C fusion cross section for astrophysics
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bucher, B., Fang, X., Tang, X., Tan, W., Almaraz-Calderon, S., Alongi, A., Ayangeakaa, A., Beard, M., Best, A., Browne, J., Cahillane, C., Couder, M., Dahlstrom, E., Davies, P., DeBoer, R., Kontos, A., Lamm, L., Long, A., Lu, W., Lyons, S., …Wiescher, M. Constraining the 12C+12C fusion cross section for astrophysics

The 12 C+ 12 C reaction is one of the single most important nuclear reactions in astrophysics. It strongly influences late evolution of massive stars as well as the dynamics of type Ia supernovae and x-ray superbursts. An accurate estimation of the c...
