Toward an experimentally determined Al26m(p,γ)Si27 reaction rate in ONe novae
Clark, J. A.; Parikh, A.; Deibel, C. M. +3 more
Strong evidence of the nucleosynthesis of Galactic Al26 has been found through measurements involving excesses in Mg26 from the decay of Al26 in meteoritic inclusions and the 1.809-MeV γ-ray line detected by satellites such as CGRO and INTEGRAL. Several sites for the production of Al26 have been suggested, including ONe novae. Destruction of Al26 …
Cosmic ray measurement of the 54Mn β- partial half-life
Duvernois, M. A.
In the fully stripped cosmic rays, the electron capture decay of 54Mn (τ1/2=312d) is strongly suppressed. In this situation the β- decay channel dominates; however, this half-life has never been measured in the laboratory. Some lower limits have been placed on it previously. Using the cosmic-ray data from the Ulyss…
