Abstract: Underground Nuclear Astrophysics in China (JUNA) will take the advantage of the ultra-low background in Jinping underground lab. High current accelerator with an ECR source and detectors were commissioned. JUNA plans to study directly a number of nuclear reactions important to hydrostatic stellar evolution at their relevant stellar energies. At the first period, JUNA aims at the direct measurements of 25Mg(p,γ)26 Al, 19F(p,α) 16 O, 13C(α, n) 16O and 12C(α,γ) 16O near the Gamow window. The current progress of J… Show more

The advent of facilities providing high-intensity and high-resolution gamma ray beams and/or ultra-short and high-repetition laser pulses can potentially open a new path of astrophysical research. Indeed, a pencil size gamma beams with tunable energies from few keV up to tens MeV will offer distinctive chances to conduct precise measurements of small cross sections (on the scale of μb or even smaller) pertaining to nuclear reactions in the field of astrophysics. Consequently, it provides essential data for modeling astrophysical S-factors crucial to stellar evolution. On the other hand, the possibility to mimic the stellar conditions by laser-matter interaction generating a controlled laboratory plasma with thermodynamical status not too different from stellar conditions will open the way for the study of nuclear reactions of utmost importance for nuclear astrophysics. For photonuclear reactions with astrophysical significance, as photodissociations occur at photon energies slightly above particle emission thresholds due to typical stellar temperatures, the resulting fragments possess low energies spanning from a few hundred keV to a few MeV. Consequently, detectors with low thresholds become imperative in such cases. Also, in the case of laser-induced reactions, in order to detect the fusion products and to measure the laser-accelerated ion distribution a proper system of detection is needed. Depending on the available exit channels of the nuclear reaction of interest, both charged particles and neutrons are foreseen. Here, we present the Asfin’s efforts on developing new detectors arrays suitable for the experimental requirements in these challenging measurements. Indeed, an experimental campaign is ongoing in order to test the feasibility of excitation functions and angular distributions determinations using versatile silicon strip arrays (namely LHASA and/or ELISSA). Moreover, extensive studies and simulations will be presented regarding the developing of a dedicated detection system comprising a cryogenically cooled supersonic nozzle, an appropriate interaction chamber, an array of neutron and charged particle detectors and two compact ion spectrometers for performing systematic study of laser-induced nuclear fusion reactions.
