低温下的直接和顺序四体复合率

Direct and sequential four-body recombination rates at low temperatures

E. Garrido, A. S. Jensen

摘要:

我们研究了恒星环境中有助于产生轻核的四体核反应,以$^9$ Be和$^{12}$ C为例。最初假设的过程是辐射俘获,其中核团簇结合成激发的最终核,光子发射填充稳定的核基态。相反,我们考虑核四体复合反应,其中旁观者核粒子取代光子。我们首先开发的详细的形式主义,直接和顺序捕获过程中,衰减的三体共振形成没有和人口的中间两体共振,分别。为了便于计算和实际应用,我们参数化所涉及的截面,成功地在以前的计算反应速率。我们认为,最低的说谎的核国家在低恒星温度的主要贡献。我们计算和比较不同工艺的反应和生产速率。直接反应机制在低温下占主导地位,其中顺序的垫脚石在能量上太昂贵而不能使用。在稍高的温度下,这两种不同的核四体机制变得相当。与辐射性三体俘获的比较已经在形式上而且在数值上揭示了,对于足够高的核密度,四体核复合必须占主导地位。数值给出了所有这些速率作为温度和密度的函数。显示了相对重要性。

英文摘要:

We investigate four-body nuclear reactions in stellar environments contributing to creation of light nuclei, exemplified by $^9$Be and $^{12}$C. The originally assumed process is radiative capture, where nuclear clusters combine into the excited final nucleus and photon emission populates the stable nuclear ground states. Instead, we consider nuclear four-body recombination reactions where a spectator nuclear particle replaces the photon. We first develop the elaborate formalism for both, direct and sequential capture processes, where the decaying three-body resonance is formed without and with population of an intermediate two-body resonance, respectively. To facilitate both calculations and practical applications we parameterize the involved cross sections as done successfully in previous computations of reaction rates. We consider the lowest-lying nuclear states with their dominant contributions at low stellar temperatures. We calculate and compare reaction and production rates for different processes. The direct reaction mechanism dominates by many orders of magnitude at low temperature, where the sequential stepping stones are energetically too expensive to use. At somewhat higher temperatures these two different nuclear four-body mechanisms become comparable. Comparison to radiative three-body capture reveals already formally, but also numerically, that four-body nuclear recombination must dominate for sufficiently high nuclear densities. Numerical values are given for all these rates as function of temperature and density. The relative importance is exhibited.
