Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory Superburst: ignited by Carbon burning Ashes from rp process (He burning) deposit in the outer crust. Crust processes (EC, pycnonuclear fusion)  crust heating  crust conductivity Picture by E. Brown (MSU) ashes Key problem: With the standard rate (CF88), the crust temperature is too low to ignite the carbon fuel!   Add artificial resonance

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory The new 12 C+ 13 C data follows the trend of the old data. The smallest cross section has been pushed down by a factor of 50. 1b1b 20nb

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory 13 C+ 13 C agrees with 12 C+ 13 C! (systematic error: ~30% not included in the graph) The isotope effect (difference in radius, mass) is negligible within the observed energy range! Where will the 12 C+ 12 C data show up?

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory For most energies, the 12 C+ 12 C cross sections are suppressed! Only at resonant energies, the 12 C+ 12 C cross sections matches with those of 12 C+ 13 C and 13 C+ 13 C!

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory Below the barrier Above the barrier A simple pattern for complicated resonances For most energies, the 12 C+ 12 C cross sections are suppressed! Only at resonant energies, the 12 C+ 12 C cross sections matches with those of 12 C+ 13 C and 13 C+ 13 C! Why? 12C+12C has lowest level density in the entrance channel!

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory If the rate can not be that high, there must be some physics missing in the superburst model. Unknown process to heat up the crust to higher temperature. Carbon burning is not the one triggering superbursts! ashes Private communication with E. Brown
