The $^{14}$N($p,\gamma$)$^{15}$O is the slowest reaction in the CNO cycle and thus regulates both the rate of the energy production and the nucleosynthesis in stars more massive than our Sun. Additionally, it has a crucial impact on the flux of the solar CNO neutrinos, recently measured at Borexino. Nevertheless, the reaction rate at astrophysical energies is poorly constrained due to the...
The study of lifetimes of nuclear states offers a unique picture of the structure of nuclei. In particular, transition probabilities are a common tool to disentangle the properties and the nature of different nuclear states. The aim of this proposal is to study the interplay of spherical ($0 \; \hbar \omega$) and intruder deformed ($2 \; \hbar \omega$) configurations in the low-lying states of...
By bombarding a 232Th target with a 36S beam we aim to populate, via multi-nucleon transfer
and deep-inelastic reactions, yrast and yrare states in neutron-rich isotopes in order to explore the
new region of deformation and the doorway states that give rise to the island of inversion (IoI)
at N = 20. The coupling of the AGATA array to the Prisma spectrometer will allow to map...
