First stage commisioning experiments have recently wrapped up at CASPAR after a two week experimental campaign. The intial measurements focused on the 27Al(p,γ)28Si and 15N(p,γ)16O reactions for accelerator energy calibration. This was followed by the initial stages of a PhD thesis work associated with the astrophysically important CNO cycle reaction 14N(p,γ)15O.
