 Topic 17: Thermonuclear reaction 30S(p,γ)31Cl  and its role in type I x-ray burst

             Coulomb breakup at high energy in inverse kinematics of proton-rich 31 Cl was used to constrain the thermonuclear 30S(p,γ)31Cl capture
             reaction rate under typical Type I x-ray burst conditions. This reaction is a bottleneck during rapid proton-capture nucleosynthesis (rp process),
             where its rate depends predominantly on the nuclear structure of 31 Cl.


 




            Guideline

            1. Motivation: stelar scenarios, role of this reaction in the rp-process.

             2. Description of the experiment: accelerator, experimental setup.

             3. Discussion of the results and implications in observed abundances.
