摘要
Background: Type I x-ray bursts are the most frequently observed thermonuclear explosions in the galaxy, resulting from thermonuclear runaway on the surface of an accreting neutron star. The S-30(alpha, p) reaction plays a critical role in burst models, yet insufficient experimental information is available to calculate a reliable, precise rate for this reaction. Purpose: Our measurement was conducted to search for states in Ar-34 and determine their quantum properties. In particular, natural-parity states with large alpha-decay partial widths should dominate the stellar reaction rate. Method: We performed the firstmeasurement of S-30 + alpha resonant elastic scattering up to a center-of-mass energy of 5.5 MeV using a radioactive ion beam. The experiment utilized a thick gaseous active target system and silicon detector array in inverse kinematics. Results: We obtained an excitation function for S-30(alpha,alpha) near 150 degrees. in the center-of-mass frame. The experimental data were analyzed with R-matrix calculations, and we observed three new resonant patterns between 11.1 and 12.1 MeV, extracting their properties of resonance energy, widths, spin, and parity. Conclusions: We calculated the resonant thermonuclear reaction rate of 30S(alpha, p) based on all available experimental data of Ar-34 and found an upper limit about one order of magnitude larger than a rate determined using a statistical model. The astrophysical impact of these two rates has been investigated through one-zone postprocessing type I x-ray burst calculations. We find that our new upper limit for the S-30(alpha, p)Cl-33 rate significantly affects the predicted nuclear energy generation rate during the burst.
