Description

The Nuclear Astrophysics program at TRIUMF, particular the one centered around the DRAGON and TUDA facilities, as well as some additional experiments will be discussed. In particular, measurements of the 12C(α,γ)16O, the 26Al(p,γ)27Si and the 40Ca(α,γ)44Ti reactions at DRAGON will be described. For the TUDA facility a measurement of 10B(α,p)13C as a test for the 18Ne(α,p)21Na measurement is presented. The development of the new cylindrical, large solid angle gas detector TACTIC will be described. In addition, new measurements refuting a temperature dependence of radioactive decay times in metals will be presented as well as GEANT4 simulations regarding the β-delayed α-spectrum of 16N will be given
