Description

The transmission efficiency of the EMMA recoil mass spectrometer at TRIUMF has been measured to enable direct absolute cross section measurements of astrophysical reactions. I will describe the measurements, the mathematical models of the spectrometer acceptance as a function of angle and energy/charge derived from them, and some recent determinations of astrophysical reaction cross sections.
