Measurement of $^{17}$F+p reactions with ANASEN
ORAL
Abstract
The Array for Nuclear Astrophysics Studies with Exotic Nuclei (ANASEN) is a charged-particle detector array designed primarily for studies of reactions important in the p- and rp- processes with proton-rich exotic nuclei. The first in-beam measurements with a partial implementation of ANASEN have been performed at the RESOLUT radioactive beam facility of FSU. This includes stable beam experiments and measurements of the $^{17}$F(p,p)$^{17}$F and the $^{17}$F(p,alpha)$^{14}$O reactions that are important for understanding the structure of $^{18}$Ne and the $^{14}$O(alpha,p)$^{17}$F reaction rate. The performance of ANASEN and initial results from the $^{17}$F studies will be presented.
