Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR

The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those processes, because they are shielded from the s-process flow and r-process, β-decay chains. These nuclei are attributed to the p and rp process. For all those processes, current research in nuclear astrophysics addresses the need for more precise reaction data involving radioactive isotopes. Depending on the particular reaction, direct or inverse kinematics, forward or time-reversed direction are investigated to determine or at least to constrain the desired reaction cross sections. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will offer unique, unprecedented opportunities to investigate many of the important reactions. The high yield of radioactive isotopes, even far away from the valley of stability, allows the investigation of isotopes involved in processes as exotic as the r or rp processes

Elastic and inelastic scattering of the 14C + 18O nuclei

New angular-distribution data of 14С + 18О elastic and inelastic scattering at the energy Elab(18O) = 105 MeV were obtained firstly. The data were analysed within the optical model and coupled-reaction-channels methods including contributions from most simple transfer reactions. The 14С + 18О potential parameters were deduced. Isotopic differenc-es of the 12, 13, 14С + 18О and 14С + 16, 18О potentials were investigated

Elastic and inelastic scattering of 18O ions on 12C nuclei

Angular distributions of the 12C + 18O elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at the energy Elab(18O) = 105 MeV (Ec.m. = 42 MeV). These data and data known from the literature at the energies Ec.m. = 12.9 - 56 МеV were analysed within the optical model and coupled-reactionchannels method. The sets of the Woods-Saxon (12С + 18O)-potential parameters were deduced and their energy dependence was studied. It was found the isotopic differences in the (12С + 16O)- and (12С + 18O)-potentials parameters and in their surface forms. The mechanisms of elastic and inelastic (12С + 18O)-scattering and role of transfer reactions were studied

Isotopic effects in elastic and inelastic 12,13C + 16,18O scattering

New angular-distribution data of 13С + 18О elastic and inelastic scattering at the energy Elab(18O) = 105 MeV were obtained for the transitions to the ground and excited states 3.088 MeV(1/2+), 3.555 MeV (1/2-), 3.854 MeV (5/2+) of 13С and 1.982 MeV (2+), 3.555 MeV (4+), 3.921 MeV (2+), 4.456 MeV (1-), 5.098 MeV (3-), 5.260 MeV (2+) of 18O. These and the 13С + 18О elastic scattering data taken from the literature at the energies Elab(18O) = 15, 20, 24, 31 MeV and Elab(13С) = 24 MeV were analysed within the optical model and coupled-reaction-channels methods. Sets of 13С + 18О optical potential parameters and their energy dependence were obtained. Contributions of potential scattering and transfer reactions to the elastic and inelastic channels of 13С + 18О scattering were studied. Isotopic differences (effects) in 12, 13С + 16, 18О optical potential parameters were investigated

Isotopic effects in elastic and inelastic

Complete angular distributions of the 12C + 18O elastic and inelastic scattering were measured at the energy E lab(18O) = 105 MeV (E c.m. = 42 MeV) . Comparison of these elastic-scattering data with those from previously measured 12C + 16O data show their large-angle cross-sections to differ by as much as a factor of 100 with the 16O data being the largest. These and the 12C + 18O scattering data taken from the literature at the energies E c.m. = 12.9-56 MeV were analysed within the optical model and coupled-reaction-channels methods. Sets of Woods-Saxon 12C + 18O optical potential parameters were obtained and their energy dependence was deduced. A similar analysis was carried out for 12C + 16O where it was shown that over a wide energy range, the primary difference in the 16O and 18O scattering potentials is in their imaginary parts. The large-angle enhancement for the 12C + 18O elastic-scattering was shown to arise from the transfer of nucleons. The inelastic-scattering data were well described over the entire angular range as arising from collective excitations of the states in the target and projectile nuclei
