Laser-driven deuterons generate neutrons with a mean energy of 2.5 MeV, through the H(d,n) fusion reaction in a deuterated polyethylene (dPE) tablet. The deuterium ions are accelerated by 12 fs, 21 mJ laser pulses interacting with a 0.

It usually metastasizes to the lung, bones, or liver. Unusual spread can be found in other organs, but only nine cases of pancreatic metastases have been reported in the Medline database.

- The CNO cycle is a key nuclear energy process in stars, particularly significant in hydrostatic hydrogen burning at temperatures between 20 to 80 MK.
- This study reports the first direct measurements of the resonance strength of the ^{17}O(p,γ)^{18}F reaction, revealing a strength about twice as high as previously documented.
- The findings enhance our comprehension of oxygen isotopic ratios observed in red giant stars and in O-rich presolar grains, confirming consistency with earlier results from different reaction channels.
Article Synopsis
- The ^{12}C/^{13}C ratio is crucial for understanding how hydrogen burning occurs in stars and is influenced by specific nuclear reactions.
- Research conducted at LUNA in Italy has measured these reactions at previously unexplored low energy levels, contributing to our understanding of nucleosynthesis in giant stars.
- The team's findings indicate that their reaction rate results are significantly lower than most existing literature, providing a new, more precise estimate for the ^{12}C/^{13}C ratio during hydrogen burning.
Aim: Breast cancer is known as the most frequent cancer type among women. In several developing countries advanced stage cases present an increase trend, despite the global provisions of screening for early detection. The aim was to investigate patients with locally advanced breast cancers, in a developing country from eastern Europe.
