T. Spillane, U. Conn. Ph.D. Thesis (2008)
1) How to extrapolate average cross section?2) Are there any resonances around Gamow window? 3) What are the branchings?
T9=0.8
Low Counting Rates
• Low points on the order of 0.5 counts per day
• Large amounts of beam time necessary
• Susceptible to background contamination
• Any contaminants in the target lighter than carbon may contribute
