Abstract

The observation of γ rays from the decay of 44Ti in the remnants of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) provides crucial information regarding the nucleosynthesis occurring in these events, as 44Ti production is sensitive to CCSNe conditions. The final abundance of 44Ti is also sensitive to specific nuclear input parameters, one of which is the 57Ni(p,γ)58Cu reaction rate. A precise rate for 57Ni(p,γ)58Cu is thus critical if 44Ti production is to be an effective probe into CCSNe. To experimentally constrain the 57Ni(p,γ)58Cu rate, the structure properties of 58Cu were measured via the 58Ni(3He,t)58Cu*(γ) reaction using GODDESS (GRETINA ORRUBA Dual Detectors for Experimental Structure Studies) at Argonne National Laboratory's ATLAS facility. Details of the experiment, ongoing analysis, and plans are presented.
