We report the mass measurement of $^{56}$Cu, using the LEBIT 9.4T Penning trap mass spectrometer at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory at Michigan State University. The mass of $^{56}$Cu is critical for constraining the…
The $^{59}$Cu$(p,\alpha)^{56}$Ni reaction plays an important role in explosive astrophysical scenarios such as Type I X-ray bursts and the $\nu p$-process in neutrino-driven winds following a core-collapse supernova. In both cases, this…
During the X-ray bursts of GS 1826$-$24, "clocked burster", the nuclear reaction flow that surges through the rapid-proton capture process path has to pass through the NiCu cycles before reaching the ZnGa cycles that moderate the further…
Model-observation comparisons of type-I X-ray bursts (XRBs) can reveal the properties of accreting neutron star systems, including the neutron star compactness. XRBs are powered by nuclear burning and a handful of reactions have been shown…
Reactions on the proton-rich nuclides drive the nucleosynthesis in Core-Collapse Supernovae (CCSNe) and in X-ray bursts (XRBs). CCSNe eject the nucleosynthesis products to the interstellar medium and hence are a potential inventory of…
Radiative capture reactions for low energy protons have been theoretically studied for Ni and Cu isotopes using the microscopic optical model. The optical potential has been obtained in the folding model using different microscopic…
Angle-integrated cross-section measurements of the $^{56}$Ni(d,n) and (d,p) stripping reactions have been performed to determine the single-particle strengths of low-lying excited states in the mirror nuclei pair $^{57}$Cu-$^{57}$Ni…
The $^{32}$Cl(p,$\gamma$)$^{33}$Ar reaction rate is of potential importance in the rp-process powering type I X-ray bursts. Recently Clement et al. \cite{CBB04} presented new data on excitation energies for low lying proton unbound states…
Accurate nuclear reaction rates for 26P(p,{\gamma})27S are pivotal for a comprehensive understanding of rp-process nucleosynthesis path in the region of proton-rich sulfur and phosphorus isotopes. However, large uncertainties still exist in…
We measured the $^{57}$Zn $\beta$-delayed proton ($\beta$p) and $\gamma$ emission at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory. We find a $^{57}$Zn half-life of 43.6 $\pm$ 0.2 ms, $\beta$p branching ratio of (84.7 $\pm$ 1.4)%, and…
The low-lying structure of $^{55}$Sc has been investigated using in-beam $\gamma$-ray spectroscopy with the $^{9}$Be($^{56}$Ti,$^{55}$Sc+$\gamma$)$X$ one-proton removal and $^{9}$Be($^{55}$Sc,$^{55}$Sc+$\gamma$)$X$ inelastic-scattering…
A new direct measurement of the $^{59}$Cu$(p,\alpha){}^{56}$Ni excitation function from 2.43 to 5.88~MeV in the center-of-mass frame was performed in inverse kinematics using the high-efficiency MUSIC active-target detector at FRIB. This…
States in the $N=35$ and 37 isotopes $^{55,57}$Ca have been populated by direct proton-induced nucleon removal reactions from $^{56,58}$Sc and $^{56}$Ca beams at the RIBF. In addition, the $(p,2p)$ quasi-free single-proton removal reaction…
The thermonuclear rate of the 50Fe(p,gamma)51Co reaction in the Type I X-ray bursts (XRBs) temperature range has been reevaluated based on a recent precise mass measurement at CSRe lanzhou, where the proton separation energy Sp=142+/-77 keV…
Recent observational advances have enabled high resolution mapping of ${^{44}}$Ti in core-collapse supernova (CCSN) remnants. Comparisons between observations and models provide stringent constraints on the CCSN mechanism. However, past…
When the upper layer of an accreting neutron star experiences a thermonuclear runaway of helium and hydrogen, it exhibits an X-ray burst of a few keV with a cool-down phase of typically 1~minute. When there is a surplus of hydrogen,…
We compute the $^{63}$Ga(p,$\gamma$)$^{64}$Ge and $^{64}$Ge(p,$\gamma$)$^{65}$As thermonuclear reaction rates using the latest experimental input supplemented with theoretical nuclear spectroscopic information. The experimental input…
Accurate $^{42}$Ti($p$,$\gamma$)$^{43}$V reaction rates are crucial for understanding the nucleosynthesis path of the rapid capture process (rp-process) that occurs in X-ray bursts. We aim to improve the thermonuclear rates of…
Due consideration of proton optical--model potential (OMP) anomalies at sub-Coulomb energies for medium--weight nuclei is shown to be critical for the analysis of the unprecedented measurement of $^{59}$Cu$(p,\alpha)^{56}$Ni reaction cross…
The extent of nucleosynthesis in models of type I X-ray bursts and the associated impact on the energy released in these explosive events are sensitive to nuclear masses and reaction rates around the $^{64}$Ge waiting point. Using the well…
