Alpha-induced cross-sections of Cd-106 for the astrophysical p-process

The {sup 106}Cd({alpha},{gamma}){sup 110}Sn reaction cross section has been measured in the energy range of the Gamow window for the astrophysical p-process scenario. The cross sections for {sup 106}Cd({alpha},n){sup 109}Sn and for {sup 106}Cd({alpha},p){sup 109}In below the ({alpha},n) threshold have also been determined. The results are compared with predictions of the statistical model code NON-SMOKER using different input parameters. The comparison shows that a discrepancy for {sup 106}Cd({alpha},{gamma}){sup 110}Sn when using the standard optical potentials can be removed with a different {alpha} + {sup 106}Cd potential. Some astrophysical implications are discussed.

First application of the Trojan horse method with a radioactive ion beam: Study of the 18 F(p,α)15 O reaction at astrophysical energies

Measurement of nuclear cross sections at astrophysical energies involving unstable species is one of the most challenging tasks in experimental nuclear physics. The use of indirect methods is often unavoidable in this scenario. In this paper the Trojan Horse Method is applied for the first time to a radioactive ion beam induced reaction studying the
