Energy generation in convective shells of low mass, low metallicity stars

Description: We report on the non-negligible energy generation from the {sup 13}C neutron source and neutron capture reactions in low mass, low metallicity AGB stars. About 10{sup 4} L{sub {circle dot}} are generated within the thermal pulse convective shell by the combination of the {sup 13}C({alpha}, n){sup 16}O rate and the sum of the Y(Z,A)(n,{gamma})Y(Z,A + 1) reactions and beta decays. The inclusion of this energy source in an AGB thermal pulse evolution is shown to alter the evolution of the convecti… more

Plasticity Under Pressure Using a Windowed Pressure-Shear Impact Experiment

Description: Many experimental techniques have been developed to determine the compressive strength or flow stress of a material under high strain rate or shock loading conditions. In addition, pressure-shear techniques have been developed that allow for the measurement of the shearing response of materials under pressure. The technique described is similar to the traditional pressure-shear plate-impact experiments except that window interferometry is used to measure both the normal and transverse particle … more

Materials Science under Extreme Conditions of Pressure and Strain Rate

Description: Solid state dynamics experiments at very high pressures (P >> 10 GPa) and strain rates ({var_epsilon} >> 10{sup 5} s{sup -1}) have been demonstrated on high energy laser facilities, albeit over brief intervals of time and small spatial scales. We have developed two methods for driving samples to high pressures (10-100 GPa) at high strain rate (10{sup 6}-10{sup 8} s{sup -1}) in the solid state. One method uses a shockless compression technique, and the other uses multiple staged shoc… more

RAYLEIGH-TAYLOR STRENGTH EXPERIMENTS OF THE PRESSURE-INDUCED alpha->epsilon->alpha' PHASE TRANSITION IN IRON

Description: We present here the first dynamic Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) strength measurement of a material undergoing solid-solid phase transition. Iron is quasi-isentropically driven across the pressure-induced bcc ({alpha}-Fe) {yields} hcp ({var_epsilon}-Fe) phase transition and the dynamic strength of the {alpha}, {var_epsilon} and reverted {alpha}{prime} phases have been determined via proton radiography of the resulting Rayleigh-Taylor unstable interface between the iron target and high-explosive products.… more
