First Direct Measurement Of An Astrophysical P-Process Reaction Cross Section Using A Radioactive Ion Beam
PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS(2021)
摘要
We have performed the first direct measurement of the Rb-83(p, gamma) radiative capture reaction cross section in inverse kinematics using a radioactive beam of Rb-83 at incident energies of 2.4 and 2.7A MeV. The measured cross section at an effective relative kinetic energy of E-cm = 2.393 MeV, which lies within the relevant energy window for core collapse supernovae, is smaller than the prediction of statistical model calculations. This leads to the abundance of Sr-84 produced in the astrophysical p process being higher than previously calculated. Moreover, the discrepancy of the present data with theoretical predictions indicates that further experimental investigation of p-process reactions involving unstable projectiles is clearly warranted.
