  2. Outline • Motivation • Neutrino nuclesynthesis of 138La and 180Ta • High resolution measurement of GT strength • Astrophysical implications

  3. Exotic Nuclides

  4. Nucleosynthesis of 138La s-process r-process p-process

  5. Production through Neutrino Processes • Neutral current reactions: 139La(n,n′n)138La • 181Ta(n,n′n)180Ta • Charged current reactions: 138Ba(ne,e-)138La • 180Hf(ne,e-)180Ta • Complete stellar evolution in massive stars with • improved RPA calculations for n-nucleus reactions A. Heger et al., Phys. Lett. B 606 (2005) 258

  6. Different Production Processes of 138La • 138La: pure n process production by cc reactions • 180Ta: 50% n process, 50% p process

  7. Theoretical Prediction • Low neutrino energies small q DL = 0 GT strength • RPA predicts main GT resonance well above neutron threshold • Predictions for the low-lying strength are questionable

  8. Experimental Requirements • (ne,e) Gamow-Teller strength (p,n) or (3He,t) • Gamow-Teller part narrow angle cut around 0° • Intermediate energies (100 – 400 MeV/u) • simple one-step reaction mechanism • spin – isospin response enhanced (3He,t) reaction at RCNP

  9. 138La Spectrum RCNP • Target: 138BaCO4 embedded in polyvinylalcohol

  10. GT Strength Distribution in 138La

  11. Cumulative Strength in 138La • B(GT–)exp» 117% B(GT–)theo at 7.47 MeV

  12. Cumulative Strength in 180Ta • B(GT–)exp» 276% B(GT–)theo at 6.64 MeV

  13. Yields of 138La and 180Ta for a 15 M Star 138La yield 180Ta yield g-process 4 8 neut. curr. ch. curr. 4 MeV 3 6 ch. curr. 8 MeV 2 4 solar 1 2 solar • Branching ratio to 180Ta isomer about 35%

  14. Conclusions • GT strength in 138La and 180Ta below • particle threshold extracted • 138La is essentially produced in the n process • 180Ta at least partially produced in the n process • Full results: • A. Byelikov et al., PRL 98, 082501 (2007)
