[sup 30]S Beam Development and X-ray Bursts

Year: 2010

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Over the past three years, we have worked on developing a well‐characterized 30S radioactive beam to be used in a future experiment aiming to directly measure to extrapolate the 30S(α,p) stellar reaction rate within the Gamow window of Type I X‐ray bursts. The importance of the 30S(α,p) reaction to X‐ray bursts is discussed. Given the astrophysical motivation, the successful results of and challenges involved in the production of a low‐energy 30S beam are detailed. Finally, an overview of our future plans regarding this on‐going project are presented.
