Measurement of the branching ratio for β-delayed α decay of 16N

Measurement of the branching ratio for β-delayed α decay of 16N

While the C12(α,γ)16O reaction plays a central role in nuclear astrophysics, the cross section at energies relevant to hydrostatic helium burning is too small to be directly measured in the laboratory. The β-delayed α spectrum of 16N can be used to constrain the extrapolation of the E1 component of...
