Measurement of low-energy resonances in the 18O(a,y)22Ne reaction
Presented By: Alexander Dombos / adombos@nd.edu
Alex is currently a postdoctoral research associate in the Nuclear Science Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. He earned his PhD from Michigan State University under the supervision of Artemis Spyrou. His doctoral research focused on initiating the new experimental program at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory that uses total absorption spectroscopy to study beta decay. At the University of Notre Dame, he participates in the active research groups of Anna Simon and Manoel Couder. This work includes contributing to the first reaction studies using the St. George recoil separator, studying the impact of the gamma-ray strength function on gamma-process nucleosynthesis with network calculations, and leading an experiment using the Compact Accelerator System for Performing Astrophysical Research at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.
