New experimental methods and techniques, combined with the development of new
theoretical tools, have opened new avenues to explore nuclear reactions of significance for …

Numerical values of charged-particle thermonuclear reaction rates for nuclei in the A= 14 to
40 region are tabulated. The results are obtained using a method, based on Monte Carlo …

Since 1999, the TRIUMF-ISAC facility has been providing rare isotope beams for nuclear
physics experiments. The three pillars of the program are nuclear structure, nuclear …

The nuclear physics input used to compute the Monte Carlo reaction rates and probability
density functions that are tabulated in the second paper of this series (Paper II) is presented …

The breakout reaction O 15 (α, γ) Ne 19, which regulates the flow between the hot CNO
cycle and the rp process, is critical for the explanation of the burst amplitude and periodicity …

ABSTRACT We present a Monte Carlo calculation of the astrophysical rate of the 15 O (α, γ)
19 Ne reaction based on an evaluation of published experimental data. By considering the …

x-ray bursts are identified as thermonuclear explosions in the outer atmosphere of accreting
neutron stars. The thermonuclear runaway is fueled by the α p process that describes a …

The O 15 (α, γ) Ne 19 reaction plays a role in the ignition of type I x-ray bursts on accreting
neutron stars. The lifetimes of states in Ne 19 above the O 15+ α threshold of 3.53 MeV are …

Neutron stars in close binary star systems often accrete matter from their companion stars.
Thermonuclear ignition of the accreted material in the atmosphere of the neutron star leads …

The breakout reaction O 15 (α, γ) Ne 19 from the hot CNO cycle is critical to understanding
explosive astrophysical phenomena such as x-ray bursts. In spite of considerable past …
