The ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction plays a key role in the evolution of stars with masses of $M >$ 0.55 $M_odot$. The cross-section of the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction within the Gamow window ($E_textrm{c.m.}$ = 300 keV, $T_textrm9$ = 0.2) is extremely small (about $10^{-17}$ barn), which makes the direct measurement in a ground-based laboratory with existing techniques unfeasible. Up until now, the cross-sections at lower energies can only be extrapolated from the data at higher energies. However, two subthreshold resonances, located at $E_x$ = 7.117 MeV and $E_x$ = 6.917 MeV, make this extrapolation more complicated. In this work, the 6.917 MeV subthreshold resonance in the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}(alpha,gamma){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction was investigated via the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}({}^{11}mathrm{B},{}^{7}mathrm{Li}){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ reaction. The experiment was performed using the Q3D magnetic spectrograph at the HI-13 tandem accelerator. We measured the angular distribution of the ${}^{12}mathrm{C}({}^{11}mathrm{B},{}^{7}mathrm{Li}){}^{16}mathrm{O}$ transfer reaction leading to the 6.917 MeV state. Based on the FRDWBA analysis, we derived the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) of the 6.917 MeV level in $^{16}$O to be (1.10 $pm$ 0.29) $times 10^{10}$ fm$^{-1}$, with which the reduced $alpha$ width was computed to be $18.0pm4.7$ keV at the channel radius of 6.5 fm. Finally, we calculated the astrophysical $S_{E2}(300)$ factor of the ground-state transitions to be 46.2 $pm$ 7.7 keV b. The result for the astrophysical $S_{E2}(300)$ factor confirms the values obtained in various direct and indirect measurements and presents an independent examination of the most important data in nuclear astrophysics.
Collisions of light and heavy nuclei in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been shown to be sensitive to nuclear structure. With a proposed $^{16}mathrm{O}^{16}mathrm{O}$ run at the LHC and RHIC we study the potential for finding $alpha$ clusteri
Geometric configurations of three-$alpha$ particles in the ground- and first-excited $J^pi=0^+$ states of $^{12}$C are discussed within two types of $alpha$-cluster models which treat the Pauli principle differently. Though there are some quantitativ
The $^{23}$Na$(alpha,p)^{26}$Mg and $^{23}$Na$(alpha,n)^{26}$Al reactions are important for our understanding of the $^{26}$Al abundance in massive stars. The aim of this work is to report on a direct and simultaneous measurement of these astrophysic
The existence of a new force beyond the Standard Model is compelling because it could explain several striking astrophysical observations which fail standard interpretations. We searched for the light vector mediator of this dark force, the $mathrm{U
We show that the observed time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) of the superconducting state in $mathrm{Sr}_{2}mathrm{Ru}mathrm{O}_{4}$ can be understood as originating from inhomogeneous strain fields near edge dislocations of the crystal. Specific
