Description
Work has already been done at TRIUMF to directly study ($\alpha$,n) reactions using both DRAGON and EMMA, with the aid of the DEMAND neutron detector array. These reactions are important for understanding both the weak r-process and the s-process. Many of the reactions relevant to the weak r-process involve neutron-rich radioactive nuclei. ARIEL will expand TRIUMF’s rare isotope beam capabilities and broaden the opportunities for direct studies of these reactions.
