Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory NPA5 April 7, 2011 Superbursts Rare, long duration bursts; By 2009, 15 bursts from 10 sources Kuulkers 2004, 2005; in’t Zand 2004; Remillard 2005; Keek 2008 Recurrence times 1-2 years, energies ergs.

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory NPA5 April 7, 2011 If the rate can not be as that high, there must be some physics missing in the superburst model. Unknown process to heat up the crust to higher temperature. Carbon burning is not the one triggering the superbust! Upper limit 4U

Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics Nuclear Science Laboratory NPA5 April 7, 2011 Summary Based on an empirical correlations among three carbon isotope fusions, the upper limit for the carbon fusion reaction rate is defined. Both the strong resonance observed at E cm =2.14 MeV and the hypothetical strong resonance at E cm =1.5 MeV are not realistic. Superburst puzzle remains unsolved! Direct/Indirect(THM) measurement is urgently needed! We are developing high current accelerator and highly efficient detector arrays to conquer the challenges.
