Sensitivity of astrophysical reaction rates to nuclear uncertainties
(2012-08)
Sensitivities of nuclear reaction rates to a variation of nuclear properties are studied. Target nuclei range from proton-to neutron dripline for 10
Astrophysical analysis of the measurement of (alpha,gamma) and (alpha,n) cross sections of Tm-169
(2012-07-05)
Reaction cross sections of Tm-169(alpha, gamma)Lu-173 and Tm-169(alpha, n)Lu-172 have been measured in the energy range 12.6
Investigation of alpha-induced reactions on Ba-130 and Ba-132 and their importance for the synthesis of heavy p nuclei
(2012-02-17)
Captures of a particles on the proton-richest barium isotope, Ba-130, have been studied in order to provide cross-section data for the modeling of the astrophysical gamma process. The cross sections of the Ba-130(alpha,g ...
Neutron capture on Zr-94 : Resonance parameters and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections
(2011-07-15)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus ...
Chemical enrichment in the carbon-enhanced damped Ly α system by population III supernovae
(2011-04-01)
We show that the recently observed elemental abundance pattern of the carbon-rich metal-poor damped Ly alpha (DLA) system is in excellent agreement with the nucleosynthesis yields of faint core-collapse supernovae of ...
Experimental study of the (91)Zr(n, gamma) reaction up to 26 keV
(2008-10)
The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes are relevant to studies in nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and nuclear technology. The valence neutron of (91)Zr with respect to the neutron magic nucleus ...
Measurement of the radiative neutron capture cross section of Pb-206 and its astrophysical implications
(2007-10)
The (n,gamma) cross section of Pb-206 has been measured at the CERN n_TOF facility with high resolution in the energy range from 1 eV to 620 keV by using two optimized C6D6 detectors. In the investigated energy interval ...
Neutron reactions and nuclear cosmo-chronology
(Elsevier, 2007-07)
The beta-decay of Re-187 (t(1/2) = 42.3 Gyr) represents a suited cosmo-chronometer for the age of the r-process abundances, since the radiogenic part of the daughter isotope (OS)-O-187 is defined by the difference between ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n, gamma) cross section from 0.6 eV to 1 MeV via the neutron time-of-flight technique at the CERN n_TOF facility
(2006-03)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) cross section was measured with the time-of-flight technique from 0.6 eV up to 1 MeV relative to the Au standard with an overall uncertainty of typically 6%. Neutrons were produced by spallation at the ...
Measurement of the Sm-151(n,gamma)Sm-152 cross section at n_TOF
(2005-07-25)
The Sm-151(n,gamma) Sm-152 cross section, which is important for the interpretation of the Sm-151 branching as an s-process thermometer, was measured from 1 eV up to 1 MeV at the innovative n-TOF facility at CERN. Based ...
