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 ... -
Determining reaction cross sections via characteristic X-ray detection : alpha-induced reactions on Tm-169 for the astrophysical gamma-process
Kiss, G. G.; Rauscher, T.; Szuecs, T.; Kertesz, Zs.; Fueloep, Zs.; Gyuerky, Gy.; Froehlich, C.; Farkas, J.; Elekes, Z.; Somorjai, E. (2011-01-17)The cross sections of the Tm-169(alpha, gamma)Lu-173 and Tm-169(alpha,n)Lu-172 reactions have been measured first time using a new method, by detecting the characteristic X-ray radiation following the electron capture-decay ...
