A near-threshold proton resonance in B 11 at E ex= 11.44±0.04 MeV is observed via the
reaction Be 10 (d, n) B 11→ Be 10+ p in inverse kinematics, measured with a beam of the …

Measuring the fusion excitation function for an isotopic chain of projectile nuclei provides a
stringent test of a microscopic description of fusion. We report the first measurement of the …

The total fusion cross section for the F 17+ C 12 system at incident energies near the top of
the Coulomb barrier was studied using the newly developed Encore active-target detector at …

The Encore active target detector is a Multi Sampling Ionization Chamber developed at
Florida State University (FSU). Encore has been successfully used to measure fusion …

An active target detector array, ANASEN, has been developed for nuclear reaction studies
with rare isotope beams at low energies. It aims at measurements of the excitation functions …

A radioactive beam of Na 24 with 90% of its content in its 1+ isomeric state (E ex= 0.472
MeV, t 1/2= 20.18 ms) has been developed and used to perform a measurement of the Na m …

Background: The rate of energy production in the hot-CNO cycle and breakout to the rapid-
proton capture process in Type I X-ray bursts is strongly related to the $^{14} $ O ($\alpha, p …

Experimental near-barrier fusion cross sections for F 17+ C 12 are compared to the fusion
excitation functions for O 16, 17, 18, F 19, and Ne 20 ions on a carbon target. Normalized or …

The resoneut detector setup is described, which was developed for resonance spectroscopy
using (d, n) reactions with radioactive beams in inverse kinematics and at energies around …

Since its foundation in the 1960s, the John D. Fox Superconducting Linear Accelerator
Laboratory at Florida State University (FSU) pursued research at the forefront of nuclear …
