  1. 54. Nuclear astrophysics with DRAGON
    Dr Gregory Christian (TRIUMF)
    16/06/2014, 15:45
    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The DRAGON facility at TRIUMF measures radiative proton and alpha capture reactions relevant to nucleosynthesis in a variety of astrophysical scenarios. DRAGON experiments are performed in inverse kinematics, taking advantage of the intense radioactive and stable beams available at TRIUMF. In this talk, I will present an overview of recent activities at DRAGON, which include the first...

  2. 287. Measurement of the p-process branching point reaction 76Se(α,γ)80Kr at DRAGON
    Dr Jennifer Fallis (TRIUMF)

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    The photo-disintegration process (*p*-process) is thought to be the primary method by which the rare *p*-nuclides (stable isotopes that cannot be produced by either the slow (*s*) or rapid (*r*) neutron capture processes) are produced. This process occurs in the high temperature environments in the late stages of massive stars and in their subsequent explosion as core collapse supernovae. ...

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Oral (Student, Not in Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), pas dans la compétition)
    The astrophysical r-process is thought to be responsible for the formation of almost half the elements in the universe heavier than iron. The r-process reaction path is located on the neutron-rich side of the chart of the nuclides approaching the neutron drip line. Reaction rates of the r-process and the location of the path are dependent on the neutron separation energies of the nuclei. As...

  4. 263. Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei
    Dr Adam Garnsworthy (TRIUMF)
    16/06/2014, 16:45
    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    Several groups from universities across Canada are collaborating on the GRIFFIN (Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigations of Nuclei) project to significantly upgrade the decay spectroscopy capabilities at TRIUMF-ISAC. GRIFFIN will replace the HPGe aspect of the 8pi spectrometer with an array of 16 large-volume hyper-pure germanium clover detectors instrumented with a...

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    Gamma-Ray Infrastructure For Fundamental Investigation of Nuclei (GRIFFIN) is a state-of-the-art facility for spectroscopic studies following nuclear decay being built at TRIUMF, Vancouver, B.C. It will accommodate 16 detectors, each made of four high purity Germanium crystals arranged in a clover configuration. GRIFFIN's efficiency will allow decay spectroscopy studies to be extended to...
