Nuclear Reactions

Improved predictions of nuclear reaction rates with the TALYS reaction code for astrophysical applications

Context. Nuclear reaction rates of astrophysical applications are traditionally determined on the basis of HauserFeshbach reaction codes. These codes adopt a number of approximations that have never been tested, such as a simplified width fluctuation correction, the neglect of delayed or multiple-particle emission during the electromagnetic decay cascade, or the absence of the pre-equilibrium c...

Nuclear reactions and nuclear ̄ssion

1 Cross sections and reaction rates 2 Consider a thin target of thickness dx and number density of targets nt being bombarded by a beam of number density Nb moving at velocity v. Each target nucleus presents a target area 3⁄4 { if one of the bombarding particles passes within the area 3⁄4, interaction (scattering, for example) occurs, otherwise not. Now if the beam covers an area A, the fractio...

Nuclear Structure and Nuclear Reactions

Atomic nuclei are the essence of the visible universe. Formed in the big bang or in cataclysmic astrophysical explosions, atomic nuclei are a crucial and intriguing part of the world. The basic features of atomic nuclei were understood in terms of the nuclear shell model in the 1963 Nobel Prize winning research of Eugene Paul Wigner, Maria Goeppert-Mayer, and J. Hans de Jensen. Since then, exte...
