چکیده
GeV beams of light ions and electrons are used for creating a high flux of real and virtual photons, with which some problems in Nuclear Astrophysics are studied. GeV B beams are used to study the Coulomb dissociation of B and thus the Be(p, γ)B reaction. This reaction is one of the major source of uncertainties in estimating the B solar neutrino flux and a critical input for calculating the B Solar neutrino flux. The Coulomb dissociation of B appears to provide a viable method for measuring the Be(p, γ)B reaction rate, with a weighted average of the RIKEN1, RIKEN2, GSI1 and MSU published results of S17(0) = 18.9 ± 1.0 eV-b. This result however does not include a theoretical error estimated to be ±10%. GeV electron beams on the other hand, are used to create a high flux of real and virtual photons at TUNL-HIGS and MIT-Bates, respectively, and we discuss two new proposals to study the C(α, γ)O reaction with real and virtual photons. The C(α, γ)O reaction is essential for understanding Type II and Type Ia supernova. It is concluded that virtual and real photons produced by GeV light ions and electron beams are useful for studying some problems in Nuclear Astrophysics. ∗Work Supported by USDOE Grant No. DE-FG02-94ER40870.

We describe further observations of QSO J0906+6930, a z=5.48 blazar likely to be detected in γ-rays. New radio and X-ray data place significant constraints on any kpc-scale extension of the VLBA-detected jet. Improved optical spectroscopy detects absorption from an intervening galaxy at z=1.849 and raise the possibility that this distant, bright source is lensed. We combine the new data into an...

We examine the claim by Oppenheimer et al. (2001) that the local halo density of white dwarfs is an order of magnitude higher than previously thought. As it stands, the observational data support the presence of a kinematically distinct population of halo white dwarfs at the >99% confidence level. A maximum-likelihood analysis gives a radial velocity dispersion a of σ h U =150 +80 −40 km s −1 a...
