Finite-temperature electron-capture rates for neutron-rich nuclei near $N = 50$ and effects on core-collapse supernova simulations

S. Giraud, R. G. T. Zegers, B. A. Brown, J.-M. Gabler, J. Lesniak, J. Rebenstock, E. M. Ney, J. Engel, A. Ravlić, and N. Paar

Phys. Rev. C 105, 055801 (2022) - Published 4 May, 2022

Electron capture on neutron-rich nuclei near $N = 50$ plays an important role during the gravitational collapse of massive stars prior to a supernova explosion, as neutrinos emitted in the electron-capture process can freely leave the stellar core. At the high temperatures in the stellar core the electron-capture rates are determined from thermally excited states whose properties differ from those of the ground state. The authors perform finite-temperature calculations with different theoretical approaches and use the resulting electron-capture rates as input in core-collapse supernova simulations. This work shows that the various sets of electron-capture rates lead to very small differences in the simulations suggesting that the rates are well-constrained.

LETTER

New narrow resonances observed in the unbound nucleus ${}^{15}F$

V. Girard-Alcindor et al.

Phys. Rev. C 105, L051301 (2022) - Published 11 May, 2022

The unbound nucleus $^{15}$ F was studied in proton-induced reactions on $^{14}$ O, producing three narrow resonances above the 2 $p$ decay threshold in $^{15}$ F. In comparison to calculations that account for the particle continuum, it was found that the properties of these resonances are determined by the proximity to proton decay channels rather than by carrying the imprint of $^{14}$ O $(0^{+}) + 1 p$ configurations. Systematic investigations of such narrow resonances in unstable nuclei will open new perspectives in studies of effective interactions in nuclear open quantum systems.
