1 Measurements for Ti at TRIUMF-ISAC 40 Ca(, ) Ti and future RIB experiments (ETH Zurich) for the DRAGON collaboration Vancouver, B.C., Canada

2 Role of Ti in Astrophysics laboratory half-life of /- 0.3 years [Ahmad et al., PRC 74 (2006)] decay through electron capture, if ionized half-life becomes longer detected in space by -ray satellites and in pre-solar grains produced in core-collapse supernova detection of relatively recent supernovae alpha-rich freeze-out just above the collapsing core observed quantity of Ti depends critically on mass-cut understanding of production requires reliable reaction rates uncertainty dominated by a few key reactions: 3 process Ti(,p) 47 V 45 V(p, ) 46 Cr 40 Ca(, ) Ti Ti at TRIUMF-ISAC Ti workshop Jan 2009

13 Reaction rate of 40 Ca(, ) Ti previous measurements: Prompt Gamma, Nassar2006 statistical model: NON-SMOKER (web, ADNDT ), Rauscher emp., BRUSLIB DRAGON reaction rate: measured range E cm = MeV + of known resonances from prompt gamma studies E cm > 4.2 MeV Ti at TRIUMF-ISAC Ti workshop Jan 2009

14 Implications of reaction rate on Ti yield Conclusions: 40% increase of Ti yield compared to empirical model by Rauscher et al Measured uncertainty of the reaction rate results in a 1 uncertainty of 3% in Ti yield Ti yield and a Ti/ 56 Ni ratio comparable to the observations in Cas A and SN1987A. [cf. Nassar et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 96 (2006)] But, some reactions with short-lived nuclides have large uncertainty in their reaction rate, which is a significant part of the uncertainty of the model calculations Ti at TRIUMF-ISAC Ti workshop Jan 2009

The fragments produced are stopped in the bulk of the target material, which then diffuse and effuse under high temperature into the ion source.

22 Summary We measured the 40 Ca(, ) Ti reaction at the recoil mass spectrometer DRAGON in the energy regime of supernova nucleosynthesis (T 9 ~ 1 2.8) The Ti mass fraction in alpha-rich freeze-out calculation is 40% higher with the new reaction rate compared to the rate from empirical model by Rauscher et al. The uncertainty of Ti yield does not depend on the 40 Ca(, ) Ti reaction rate any more; measured uncertainty leads to a 3% uncertainty in Ti yield. uncertainty dominated by reactions with short-lived nuclides ( Ti, 45 V) future experiments with radioactive beams Ti at TRIUMF-ISAC Ti workshop Jan 2009
