Astrophysical simulations require knowledge of a wide array of reaction rates. For a number
of reasons, many of these reaction rates cannot be measured directly and instead are …

Nuclear astrophysics recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and remains an active field of
science. This article reviews several contemporary experimental techniques used to …

We present an account of the current status of the theoretical treatment of inclusive (d, p)
reactions in the breakup-fusion formalism, pointing to some applications and making the …

The radioisotope 26 Al is a key observable for nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy and the
environment of the early Solar System. To properly interpret the large variety of astronomical …

We present the first direct measurement of an astrophysical reaction using a radioactive
beam of isomeric nuclei. In particular, we have measured the strength of the key 447-keV …

Angle-integrated cross-section measurements of the 56 Ni (d, n) and (d, p) stripping
reactions have been performed to determine the single-particle strengths of low-lying …

We report the first experimental constraints on spectroscopic factors and strengths of key
resonances in the P 30 (p, γ) S 31 reaction critical for determining the production of …

The Al 23 (p, γ) Si 24 reaction is among the most important reactions driving the energy
generation in type-I x-ray bursts. However, the present reaction-rate uncertainty limits …

Background: In the past year we have been exploring the effect of the explicit inclusion of
nonlocality in (d, p) reactions. Purpose: The goal of this paper is to extend previous studies …

We present a detailed comparison of shell model calculations with inverse kinematic transfer
reaction data, obtained using a radioactive beam. Experimentally extracted spectroscopic …
