Abstract

In the house of Trojan Horse Method (THM), I will say a few words about “other” indirect methods we use in Nuclear Physics for Astrophysics. In particular those using Rare Ion Beams that can be used to evaluate radiative proton capture reactions. I add words about work done with the Professore we celebrate today. With a proposal, and some results with TECSA, for a simple method to produce and use isomeric beam of 26m Al.

Highlights

  • As this is an invited lecture in the special session dedicated to prof

  • It will obviously be difficult to put in 6 pages the content of 35 slides, including images worth 1000 words each! In all cases I will enumerate, rather than fully describe or justify, the most common indirect methods that we use in nuclear astrophysics

  • I cannot pretend in such a short time and space to cover exhaustingly all indirect methods and all what was done so far with them

Summary

Introduction

As this is an invited lecture in the special session dedicated to prof. Claudio Spitaleri on the occasion of his (formal) retirement, I will treat it just like that! I mean, I will keep the promise of the title and abstract, but I will insist on work done together with Claudio and his people. In all cases I will enumerate, rather than fully describe or justify, the most common indirect methods that we use in nuclear astrophysics. That first encounter was the origin of many works we did, or we participated to, together, either at Texas A&M University, in Catania, or at IFIN-HH in Bucharest Others in this session and this room know him better and for longer, and they already have spoken or will, and said already moving words about him and his works.
