First inverse kinematics measurement of resonances in ⁷Be(α, γ)¹¹C relevant to neutrino-driven wind nucleosynthesis using DRAGON

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁴He(⁷Be, γ), E=351-464 keV/nucleon; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ, γ-sum, (particle)γ-coin; deduced 1110-, 1115- and 876-keV resonances strength, thermonuclear reaction rate (T=0.1-10 GK), astrophysical S-factor. Discussed the impact of newly determined rates on studies of nucleosynthesis in neutrino-driven winds. Helium-filled windowless gas target surrounded by γ-ray array of 30 BGO scintillator crystals at DRAGON recoil separator (TRIUMF).
