In order to solve the observed fluorine overabundances in Asymptotic Giant Branch （AGB） stars, measuring the key 19F（p,a）16O reaction at effective burning energies （i.e., at Gamow window） is established as one of the scientific research sub-projects. The present paper describes this sub-project in details, including motivation, status, experimental setup, yield and background estimation, aboveground test, as well as other relevant reactions.展开更多

Using the best fitted diffuseness parameters, the correlations of the real part parameters with A1/3 1 ＋ A1/3 2and incident energy are revealed, and the systematic Woods-Saxon potential parameters are presented for nucleus-nucleus interaction. The proposed potential parameters can reproduce not only the elastic scattering angular distributions induced by 12C, but also many elastic scattering angular distributions induced by the projectiles other than 12C, thus providing important inputs for the study of nuclear reactions of heavy-ion systems.展开更多
