Resonances in the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction I have asked myself the question what is the consequences of the nuclear resonances in the proposed experiment in inverse kinematics of the α capture reaction? So far, the reaction was discussed as it were an s-wave and that a measurement of the total astrophysical S factor (= sum of all partial waves) at a single kinematics would fully constrain it. Can one find “the holy grail of astrophysics” [C. Rolfs] by a measurement with one spectrometer and α detector setting?

E1 ground state transition E2 ground state transition Existing S factor data E1 ground state transition E2 ground state transition 1- 2+ transition into 7.12 MeV state transition into 6.92 MeV state D. Schürmann, L. Gialanella, R. Kunz, F. Strieder: The astrophysical S factor of 12C(α,γ)16O at stellar energy, Phys. Lett. B 711, 35 (2012)

Schematic S factor curves the cross section at stellar energies is, most likely, dominated by the tails of subthreshold resonances corresponding to the bound states at 7.12 MeV and 6.92 MeV, whereas in the experimentally accessible region it is dominated by the resonance corresponding to a 9.6 MeV state and by direct capture constructive or destructive interference may occur. the total cross section is incoherent sum of E1 and E2 leading to four possible curves depending on the sign of the interference effects.

How to approach experimentally? C. E. Rolfs & W. S. Rodney: Cauldrons in the Cosmos, Chicago: Univ. Chicago Press (1988) P. Prati et al.: Nuclear Astrophysics At LUNA: Status And Perspectives: p-wave “The measurement of the 12C(α,γ)16O reaction should be done in a nearly 4π geometry with an angle-segmented crystal ball detector. The measurement of angular distributions is necessary to separate the E1 and E2 components of both ground-state and cascade transitions.” d-wave

Consequences It is important to get data of high relevance with respect to the (complex) properties of the S factor curve: What’s the impact of a data point on total dσ/dΩ at a specific cosθ especially at E » E0 where an extrapolation to E0 is needed? It is not possible to get σtotal (and therefore S total) from dσ/dΩ. It is not possible to separate multipoles. The cascade γ-decay amplitude is not accessed by the inverse reaction Is it crucial to get information on p- or d-waves? Requirement to get a measurement with 10-20% accuracy.

What is the ideal experimental setup? Consequences What is the ideal experimental setup? A limited (or integrated) detection angle of the α particle leads to an unknown multipolarity of the measured cross section. A detector ring or sphere with full angular coverage would have dramatically different background as a function of cosθ. Is a gas detector a possible alternative to a detector? A low pressure MWPC or multistep chamber can have a good timing resolution and high efficiency for nuclei while being extreme insensitive to gamma, electron, proton and neutron background 4π acceptance in a 1-3 Torr gas volume see for example: K.

Level scheme of the 16O nucleus α (Jp=0+) + 12C (Jp=0+) cross section, σ(E0), is dominated by p-wave (E1) and d-wave (E2) radiative capture to 16O ground state (Jp=0+) Two bound states, at 6.92 MeV (Jp=2+) and 7.12 MeV (Jp=1–), with sub-threshold resonances at ER=-0.245 and -0.045 MeV, provide most σ(E0) through their finite widths Transition 1– → 0+ (E1) and transition 2+ → 0+ (E2) distinguished by γ-angular distributions D.
