Science highlights from the shallow underground laboratory Felsenkeller Dresden
Abstract
Underground accelerator laboratories are important instruments to measure nuclear reactions with low cross sections in experimental nu- clear astrophysics. The reduced detector background due the shielding from cosmic rays allows the study of astronuclear reactions at energies relevant to Big Bang nucleosynthesis and stellar burning. The reac- tions 3He(a,g)7Be and 12C(p,g)13N have recently been studied at the shallow underground laboratory Felsenkeller Dresden, where a 5 MV accelerator provides several high intensity ion beams and an ultra-low background counting setup for activation measurements. In the talk, the latest scientific results from the Felsenkeller laboratory, its current capabilities and upcoming enhancements will be summarized.
