  1. Constraining nova observables: Direct measurement of 33S(p,)34Cl in inverse kinematics Jennifer Fallis, DRAGON CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  2. Motivation • Nucleosynthesis calculations of ONe novae predict an overproduction of 33S by a factor of 150compared to solar. • This could vary by factors of 0.01 to 3 due to the current experimental uncertainty in the rate of 33S destruction via 33S(p,)34Cl. CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  3. Motivation CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  4. Classification of presolar grains • Large over-abundances of several specific isotopes can be used to identify presolar grains, and their astrophysical origins. • 12C/13C, 14N/15N, 30Si/28Si • The measured isotopic ratios can constrain models of stellar nucleosynthesis. • The mere existence of grains from novae can provide information about nova ejecta. • To get C-rich grains from O-rich ejecta limits condensation conditions CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  5. Classification of presolar grains • AGB stars and SN nucleosynthesis cannot explain these grain signatures. • Seeing an over- abundance of 33S would be an indicator for ONe novae. CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  6. Classification of presolar grains AGB stars J-type C stars SN AGB stars AGB stars Novae Novae? • AGB stars and SN nucleosynthesis cannot explain these grain signatures. • Seeing an over- abundance of 33S would be an indicator for ONe novae. CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  7. Classification of presolar grains • Sulfides are expected to be incorporated into SiC grains. (K. Lodders and B. Fegley Jr., Meteroritics 30 (1995) 1959) • Sulfide measurements are complicated by the H2SO4 used to separate SiC grains. • … but a recent paper measured the 34S/32S ratio in a SiC grain of SNII origin. ( P. Hoppe et al., ApJ 719 (2010) 1370 ) 33S? CAWONAPS - Dec 10th, 2010

  8. Possible -telescope target? • 33S(p,)34Cl is the only means of production of 34mCl in classical novae. • Characteristic -rays resulting from its subsequent -decay (t1/2 = 32 m) might be a future target for  -ray telescopes. • Requires nova ejecta to become transparent to ’s in a short enough time period, or for there to be large enough amounts of 34mCl that it hasn’t all decayed in the intervening time.

  9. 34Cl level structure above 33S+p • Currently, experimental measurements of  only exist down to Er = 434 keV. • The energy region corresponding to nova temperatures (0.2-0.4 GK) goes as low as Er = 220 keV. • As of 2008, there were two possible states within the Gamow window and 3 just below it, which had not been measured directly. • Deduced from (p,) -decay schemes (Waaders, Dassie) • From various indirect studies F.

  25. Conclusions • With little contribution to the rate from the previously unmeasured states, the lower limit shown above, based on existing measurement, is likely to remain the current experimental rate of the 33S(p,)34Cl reaction.
