Abstract

Accurate neutron capture predictions are needed in fundamental and applied science. Empirical models are constrained largely for stable nuclei, but predictions far from stability are needed. Neutron transfer in (d, p) reactions in inverse kinematics with rare isotope beams offers a means to access key aspects of the capture process. To this end, the detector array for photons, protons, and exotic residues (DAPPER) has been designed, built, tested, and used for measurement at Texas A&M University.
