“…Due to the negative Q -value, and in order to have predominantly a direct reaction mechanism, energies of 50 MeV/n or higher are necessary. Two Ni isotopes have been studied with the Maya detector at GANIL: 56 Ni and 68 Ni [49,50]. We will illustrate the results for 68 Ni, a neutron rich isotope.…”

“…Predecessors to the MSTPC were the Multi-Sampling Ionization Chamber (MUSIC) [56] and Multi-Sampling Proportional Counter (MSPC) [57], which have been successful in studying reactions with radioactive beams [58,59]. Recently, a newlyconstructed MUSIC detector was used in conjunction with radioactive beams to access reactions for unstable carbon isotopes that shed light in nucleosynthesis of neutron-rich isotopes on the surface of neutron stars [60].…”

“…These will be investigated in other work. Since escaping delta rays will lower the estimated LET values, the HETC-HEDS estimates of LET are corrected for the delta ray escapes using a model first developed by Badhwar, and described in detail in [27].…”

The Cosmic Ray Telescope for the Effects of Radiation (CRATER) is an instrument on the LunarReconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft in orbit around the Moon. CRaTER directly measures the energy depositions by space radiation in each of its six silicon wafer detectors as ionizing particles travel through them. These energy depositions are converted to linear energy transfer (LET). High LET particles are of particular importance because of their potential to cause significant biological damage to human tissue as well as a variety of damage effects in electronic components. These high LET particles are mainly high energy heavy ions found in the incident galactic cosmic ray spectrum or secondary fragments and recoils produced by protons and heavier ions. In this work the Monte Carlo transport code HETC-HEDS (High Energy Transport Code -Human Exploration and Development in Space) is used to estimate LET contributions from the incident primary ions as they pass through all 6 detectors in the CRaTER instrument.

“…with CH 4 gas which serves both as target and counting gas. Multisampling ionization chambers have been used in the past for experiments with relativistic heavy ions [21,22] and a similar detector was employed for a measurement of the 8 Li(α,n) 11 B reaction [23,24]. Details about the technique used with this detector system are given in Ref.…”

“…For experimental studies of these reactions it is easier to produce beams of 14 O, 17 F, 21 Na, 25 Al, 29 P, 33 Cl and 37 K, via inverse (p,n) or (d,n) reactions, when compared to beams of 18 Ne, 22 Mg, 26 Si, 30 S, 34 Ar which require two-particle transfer reactions, such as ( 3 He,n) or ( 12 C, 10 Be). For that reason many of the relevant (α,p) reactions mentioned above have been studied via the time-inverse (p,α) reaction using radioactive beams that are closer to the valley of stability.…”

Abstract.Measurements from orbiting X-ray satellites during the last decades have provided us with a wealth of information about nuclear reactions thought to occur in the extreme, highdensity environment of neutron stars. With radioactive ion beams from first-generation facilities we have begun to study some of these processes in the laboratory. In this contribution I report on experiments performed with radioactive beams from the ATLAS accelerator at Argonne. I will discuss the nuclear physics of X-ray bursts and super-bursts, the production of in-flight radioactive beams, as well as novel detectors which are used in these experiments.
