Mirror studies in the sd-shell using the (d,p) reaction

ORAL

Abstract

The odd-odd self-conjugate sd-shell nuclei - 18F, 22Na, 26Al, 30P, 34Cl and 38K - all play important roles in nucleosynthesis in massive stars and novae. Their self-conjugate nature makes them especially well suited for indirect studies via mirror symmetry, where proton-capture cross sections can be deduced from neutron-transfer reactions. These nuclides have been the targets of a series of experiments, using ORRUBA and GODDESS, at HRIBF, ATLAS and NSCL/FRIB. An overview of these measurements will be presented, with an emphasis on recent results and experimental campaigns, and a look toward the first experiments in the FRIB era.
