17O(a,n)20Ne Frost-Schenk et al. 2022 The rate is based on a full evaluation of the known spectroscopic information on 21Ne, the compound nucleus of 17O+alpha. Link to the paper

13C(a,n)16O Ciani et al. 2021 This rate comes after the 13C(a,n)16O LUNA measurement, which is the first direct measurement reaching the high energy edge of the Gamow Window (130<E<240 keV). LUNA data cover the energy range 230<Ecm<305 keV corresponding to alpha energy 305<Ea<400 keV. All the points have overall uncertainty lower than 20%. The S… Continue reading 13C(a,n)16O

22Ne(a,n)25Mg Adsley et al. 2021 A reevaluation of both 22Ne(a,n)25Mg and 22Ne(a,g)26Mg reaction rates using updated nuclear data from a number of sources including updating spin and parity assignments. Link to the publication: PHYSICAL REVIEW C 103, 015805 (2021) Longland et al. 2012 Evaluation of both 22Ne(a,n)25Mg and 22Ne(a,g)26Mg reaction rates using Monte Carlo sampling.… Continue reading 22Ne(a,n)25Mg
