Study of excited states of S-31 through beta-decay of Cl-31 for nucleosynthesis in ONe novae Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • We have produced an intense and pure beam of 31Cl with the MARS Separator at the Texas A&M University and studied -decay of 31Cl by implanting the beam into a novel detector setup, capable of measuring -delayed protons and -rays simultaneously. From our data, we have established decay scheme of 31Cl, found resonance energies with 1 keV precision, have measured its half-life with under 1% accuracy, found its Isobar Analog State decay and by using the IMME obtained an improved mass excess for its ground state. In this contribution, a description of the used method along with selected preliminary experimental results are given and their relevance for novae nucleosynthesis discussed. 2011 American Institute of Physics.
