Element synthesis calculations for stellar explosions: Robust uncertainties, sensitivities, and radioactive ion beam measurements
Abstract
We utilize multiple-zone, post-processing element synthesis calculations to determine the impact of recent ORNL radioactive ion beam measurements on predictions of novae and X-ray burst simulations. We also assess the correlations between all relevant reaction rates and all synthesized isotopes, and translate nuclear reaction rate uncertainties into abundance prediction uncertainties, via a unique Monte Carlo technique. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
