Nuclear level densities are important ingredients in the statistical model of nuclear reactions which describes the excitation of the nucleus at temperatures and energies beyond the low-lying discrete ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

An international research team has achieved an important milestone for astrophysics at GSI/FAIR in Darmstadt: In the ...

Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

New measurements at UMass Lowell Research Reactor revealed discrepancies in current data essential to many applications. We are set to remeasure new data on gamma rays from thermal neutron capture on ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...

Photonuclear reactions occur when high-energy photons interact with atomic nuclei, resulting in the ejection of one or more nucleons or the emission of other subatomic particles. These reactions serve ...
