Let’s check it!!

• EURISOL 15O, 14O beam ?

• Different consequences?

p + p ↔ 2He → d + e+ +

p + 4He ↔ 5Li → γ + e+ + ν +4He + n

15O intensity = 1010 pps

E = 0.8 A MeV

N reactions = 8 / day.Continuum Shell Model

• Astro?

• Unbound state isomer !

16F radioactive??

•Non exponential decay!

•More surprises to come …

Future

Application for other unbound nuclei

- 15F (very interesting case)

- 5Li

- 4Li

- 19Na

…….

Outlook

Proposition of a new reaction pathway - 15O(p,γ)(β+)16O

- Consequences in different astrophysical scenarios

- Sequential decay ?

- Shape of the resonance ?

- γ decay between two unbound states ? σ(p,γ)~ 1 μb

- Experimental Confirmation

Conclusions

Futur

• Astro à revoir ?

• Expérience SPIRAL 2 ?

• D’autres conséquences en astro ?p + p ↔ 2He → d + e+ +

15O intensité = 1010 pps

E = 0.8 A MeV

N réactions = 8 / jour.Continuum shell model

• Intrastate decay !

• Isomère de noyaux non liés ! 16F radioactif ??

• Décroissance non exponentielle !

• Test Heisenberg ?????

• D’autres surprises …
