39K+p reaction rate paper published in PRL!

Our high-resolution study of near-threshold states in 40Ca was recently published in Physical Review Letters! It was the first study to determine the proton spectroscopic factors of states important for potassium burning through the 39K(p,γ)40Ca reaction.


19Ne paper published

Our paper in which we unambiguously assigned spin-parities to the sub-threshold resonances in 18F(p,α)15O has been published! These findings significantly reduce the uncertainty in the cross section, greatly improving our understanding of fluorine production in nova explosions.


24Mg paper published

Our paper on our highly-detailed study of 24Mg and its influence on the sodium-oxygen anti-correlation in globular clusters has been published!
