The 124Xe(p,γ) reaction has been measured for the first time at energies around the Gamow window by using stored ions at the ESR facility. The desired beam energies below 10 MeV/u introduce new experimental challenges like windowless ions detection under UHV conditions, extremely short beam lifetimes and efficient beam deceleration and cooling, all of which have been successfully met.
One of the aims of the SPARC collaboration [1] at FAIR is to perform precision atomic physics expe- riments with highly charged heavy ions at the High Energy Storage Ring (HESR). An internal target is indis- pensably an integral part for many such experiments. Ions with different charge states, which are obtained as a result of interaction of an ion beam with the target, need to be effectively separated and detected. In this work we present ion optical studies unambiguously showing the feasibility of SPARC experiments at the HESR.
Ion optical calculations for a storage ring at the present GSI facility for direct proton-induced reactions relevant for different astrophysical processes are presented. As an example case, the 59Cu(p,γ) and 59Cu(p,α) reactions are shown. The branching of these two reactions is important in X-ray burst scenarios, since it determines the breakout out of the major 56Ni waiting point.
We discuss the possibility to build a neutron target for nuclear reaction studies in inverse kinematics utilizing a storage ring and radioactive ion beams. The proposed neutron target is a specially designed spallation target surrounded by a large moderator of heavy water (D2O). We present the resulting neutron spectra and their properties as a target. We discuss possible realizations at different experimental facilities.
