Nuclear Electron Capture in a Plasma
We consider the electron density at the position of an ion of charge Ze in a plasma under conditions approximating those in the core of the sun. Numerical calculations have shown that the plasma effects on the density, over and above the ordinary Coulomb factors that are obtained in the absence of electron-electron interactions, are well represented by a reduction factor, exp{−ZeβκD}, where β i...
متن کاملRadiative Electron Capture Accompanying Resonant Nuclear Scattering
A quantum mechanical theory for the radiative capture (REC) of a target electron by a heavy, swift projectile is formulated, allowing for resonant nuclear scattering through the use of distorted waves. Calculations are performed for the systems 016, Ne2~ within the exact strong potential Born theory and the impulse approximation. Similar structures as in the case of Coulomb capture are found in...
متن کاملElectron Capture in Early Gravitational Collapse – Nuclear Equation of State
We present the spectra of pre trapping neutrinos emitted from a core collapse supernova (having main sequence masses 15 and 25 M ) within 1 kpc which can be detected by terrestrial detectors. The neutrino spectrum depends on the abundance of nuclei and free protons which undergo electron capture which in turn is determined by nuclear properties of the stellar core. The ambient temperature in th...
متن کاملPhoton angular distribution in nuclear excitation by electron capture
In the resonant process of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC), a free electron is captured into a bound atomic shell with the simultaneous excitation of the nucleus. NEEC is a process analogous to dielectronic recombination (DR), and when followed by the radiative decay of the nucleus, it is a competing resonant channel of radiative recombination (RR). Partly due to the dominant RR b...
متن کاملIsomer triggering via nuclear excitation by electron capture.
Triggering of long-lived nuclear isomeric states via coupling to the atomic shells in the process of nuclear excitation by electron capture (NEEC) is studied. NEEC occurring in highly charged ions can excite the isomeric state to a triggering level that subsequently decays to the ground state. We present total cross sections for NEEC isomer triggering considering experimentally confirmed low-ly...
