Abstract / Description of output
The reaction C-12(alpha, gamma)O-16 has a strong influence on both stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis after the helium burning stage in massive stars. The El amplitude of this astrophysical important reaction was measured in inverse kinematics using a He-4 windowless gas target and an intense 12C ion beam in combination with an array of HPGe detectors. The results of this measurement were extrapolated to the relevant energy for helium burning (Eo = 300 keV) using the R-matrix formalism of nuclear reactions. The error on the extrapolated value was determined via a Monte Carlo procedure. The results of this experiment and of their extrapolation to E-0 are presented and compared with previous data.
