The surrogate-reaction method is a powerful method to indirectly infer neutron-induced cross sections of very short-lived nuclei. When the surrogate method is used in inverse kinematics, the nucleus formed in the neutron-induced reaction of interest is produced by a reaction (typically a transfer or an inelastic-scattering reaction) involving a radioactive heavy-ion beam and a stable, light...
Measurement of nuclear reactions involving radioactive isotopes is critical to model and understand the wealth of new astronomical data from stellar explosions. At FAIR@GSI (Germany), the newly commissioned low-energy CRYRING storage ring offers novel possibilities for nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics reaction studies.
I will describe initial commissioning, present status and...
