Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of ²⁶Al (2023)
Journal Article
Laird, A. M., Lugaro, M., Kankainen, A., Adsley, P., Bardayan, D. W., Brinkman, H. E., …Mengoni, A. (2023). Progress on nuclear reaction rates affecting the stellar production of 26Al. Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 50(3), Article 033002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ac9cf8

The radioisotope 26Al is a key observable for nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy and the environment of the early Solar System. To properly interpret the large variety of astronomical and meteoritic data, it is crucial to understand both the nuclear react...

Galactic Chemical Evolution of Radioactive Isotopes with an s-process Contribution (2022)
Journal Article
Trueman, T. C. L., Côté, B., Yagüe López, A., Den Hartogh, J., Pignatari, M., Soós, B., …Lugaro, M. (2022). Galactic Chemical Evolution of Radioactive Isotopes with an s-process Contribution. The Astrophysical journal, 924(1), 10. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac31b0

Analysis of inclusions in primitive meteorites reveals that several short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) with half-lives of 0.1-100 Myr existed in the early solar system (ESS). We investigate the ESS origin of 107Pd, 135Cs, and 182Hf, which are produced... Read More about Galactic Chemical Evolution of Radioactive Isotopes with an s-process Contribution.

New Thermonuclear Rate of ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴He Relevant to the Cosmological Lithium Problem (2021)
Journal Article
Hou, S. Q., Kajino, T., Trueman, T. C., Pignatari, M., Luo, Y. D., & Bertulani, C. A. (2021). New Thermonuclear Rate of 7Li(d,n)24He Relevant to the Cosmological Lithium Problem. The Astrophysical journal, 920(2), Article 145. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac1a11

Accurate 7Li(d,n)24He thermonuclear reaction rates are crucial for precise prediction of the primordial abundances of lithium and beryllium and to probe the mysteries beyond fundamental physics and the standard cosmological model. However, uncertaint... Read More about New Thermonuclear Rate of ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴He Relevant to the Cosmological Lithium Problem.
