Astrophysical Reaction Rates as a Challenge for Nuclear Reaction Theory
Abstract
The relevant energy ranges for stellar nuclear reactions are introduced. Low-energy compound and direct reactions are discussed. Stellar modifications of the cross sections are presented. Implications for experiments are outlined.

Determination of (n,gamma) reaction rates at s-process branching points via their inverse reactions
Sonnabend, K.; Mengoni, A.; Mohr, P.; Rauscher, T.; Vogt, K.; Zilges, A. (2003-05-19)We present our method to determine the (n,gamma) reaction rates of s-process branching point nuclei using data of the inverse (gamma,n) reaction. As an example, we selected Zr-95. The analysis of the data of the reaction ... -
Determination of the (n,gamma) reaction rate of unstable W-185 in the astrophysical s-process via its inverse reaction
Sonnabend, K.; Mengoni, A.; Mohr, P.; Rauscher, T.; Vogt, K.; Zilges, A. (2003-05-05)The (gamma,n) reaction rate of W-186 was measured in order to deduce the (n,gamma) reaction rate of 185 W, an important branching point in the astrophysical s-process. The theoretical predictions have been confirmed and ... -
Tables of nuclear cross sections and reaction rates : An addendum to the paper "Astrophysical reaction rates from statistical model calculations"
Rauscher, T.; Thielemann, Friedrich-Karl (2001-09)In a previous publication (ATOMIC DATA AND NUCLEAR DATA TABLES 75, 1 (2000)), we gave seven-parameter analytical fits to theoretical reaction rates derived from nuclear cross sections calculated in the statistical model ...
