One-proton knockout reactions on psd-shell nuclei for relevant reaction rates in explosive Hydrogen burning processes
ORAL
Abstract
I will discuss the use of one-proton removal reactions at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics to infer stellar reaction rates with astrophysical implications for explosive hydrogen burning processes. I will refer in particular to the results of a recent experiment carried out at GANIL for a cocktail of secondary ion beams around 23Al impinging on a carbon target at 50 MeV/nucleon. The longitudinal momentum distributions of one-proton knockout fragments will be reported in comparison with extended Glauber calculations. Determination of corresponding spectroscopic factors and asymptotic normalization coefficients will be presented.
