The $\rm ^7Be(p,\gamma)^8B$ represents one of the more important reaction for the prediction of high energy component of solar neutrino spectrum. The importance of this reaction triggered an intense experimental work over the last decades, where discrepancies were observed between the results of different measurements.
The origin of this discrepancy limit the overall precision and accuracy of...
Precise nuclear data is extremely important for several scientific applications, ranging from the calculation of reaction rates for the description of galactic events, to the evaluation of the toxicity of nuclear waste. As it was recently shown, the re-evaluated half-life data of a considerable number of radionuclides (e.g., Fe-60 [1], Se-79 [2, 3], and Sm-146 [4]) was in substantial...
By combining two unique facilities at GSI (Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research),
the fragment separator (FRS) and the experimental storage ring (ESR), the first direct measurement of a proton capture reaction of a stored radioactive isotope has been accomplished. The combination of sharp ion energy, ultra-thin internal gas target, and the ability to adjust energy of the beam in the ring...
