Measurement of the reaction17O(α,n)20Ne and its impact on thes

Abstract: Background:The ratio between the rates of the reactions 17 O(α, n) 20 Ne and 17 O(α, γ) 21 Ne determines whether 16 O is an efficient neutron poison for the s process in massive stars, or if most of the neutrons captured by 16 O(n, γ) are recycled into the stellar environment. This ratio is of particular relevance to constrain the s process yields of fast rotating massive stars at low metallicity.Purpose: Recent results on the (α, γ) channel have made it necessary to measure the (α, n) reaction more precisely … Show more

“…The Best results are slightly lower than NACRE, but the deviation does not exceed a factor of two for 0.5 < ∼ T 9 < ∼ 2.0. The significantly lower N A σv at very low temperatures below T 9 = 0.5 results from the fact that the lowest resonance in the Denker data at 888 keV is considered as spurious and has been assigned to the 17 O(α,n) 20 Ne reaction by Best et al [23]. The results are shown in Fig.…”

“…This confirms the TALYS calculations for the branchings to individual final states in 20 Ne. Again similar to the 18 O case, Best et al [23] have extended the neutron counting experiments by an additional measurement of the 17 O(α,n 1 ) 20 Ne reaction by γ-spectroscopy of the 1634 keV γ-ray from the decay of the first excited state in 20 Ne to the ground state. The (α,n 1 ) data at low energies are on average well reproduced by the TALYS calculations.…”
