Nuclear Data for AstrophysicsNuclear Data for Astrophysics

Nuclear data required for studies of:Early universe – “Big Bang”,Stellar physics:

novae, supernovae, Red giants, Interstellar medium.

Nuclear Data for AstrophysicsNuclear Data for Astrophysics

Codes for modeling these systems require massive amounts of nuclear data

Reaction rates.

Energy released in nuclear reactions.

Structural properties of relevant nuclei.

Nuclear Data for AstrophysicsNuclear Data for Astrophysics

Reaction rate: ‹σ·v›Cross section times ion velocity averaged over

Maxwell-Bolzmann distribution of relative ion velocity.

Basic data are cross sections and resonance parameters.

Nuclear Data for AstrophysicsNuclear Data for Astrophysics

For many unstable nuclear no cross section data exist!

Calculations rely on data from theoretical models.

Experimental reaction data are used for refinement of theoretical models.

Stellar nucleosynthesis: Hydrogen burning. Helium burning. Silicon burning.

Each involve the need for data on many nuclear reactions.

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions Reactions involving alpha particles are

important in the helium burning stage of stars, novae, and supernovae.

They involve light to medium weight nuclei, up to Z=32, and center-of-mass energies up to about 20 MeV.

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions Buildup of 56Ni in supernovae depends

critically on the (,) and (,p) reactions on -nuclei, the heaviest stable nuclide of them being 40Ca.

For more massive radioactive - nuclei, 44Ti, 48Cr, 52Fe, and 56Ni, we must rely heavily on calculations, since there are few measurements.

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions A key element in our understanding of -induced

reactions is the -nucleus potential.

Most wide used potentials are McFadden-Satchler [1] and Arthur-Young [2].

Both are global potentials, i.e., expected to perform for a large number of nuclei, but perhaps not suitable for accurate calculations.

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions

NNDC and CNPD, Sarov, along with ORNL, have been involved in a project to compile and evaluate alpha-induced nuclear reaction data.

Objective: to derive alpha-nucleus potentials for use in model calculations.

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions Compilation of data completed.

Evaluation of data. Calculations using the code Empire [3] for both

potentials and the code NON-SMOKER [4].

Alpha-Induced ReactionsAlpha-Induced Reactions 1st phase of project is nearing completion

[5].

All data will be made available to the community.
