Nuclear Physics Experiment Helps Identify Conditions for a New Astrophysical Process (IMAGE)
Caption
A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by the beta decay of 140Cs into 140Ba.
