Radiative neutron capture on Pu 242 in the resonance region at the CERN n-TOF-EAR1 facility
(2018-02-06)
The spent fuel of current nuclear reactors contains fissile plutonium isotopes that can be combined with uranium to make mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. In this way the Pu from spent fuel is used in a new reactor cycle, contributing ...
Sensitivity to neutron captures and β-decays of the enhanced s-process in rotating massive stars at low metallicities
(2018-01-31)
The s-process in massive stars, producing nuclei up to A ≈ 90, has a different behaviour at low metallicity if stellar rotation is significant. This enhanced s-process is distinct from the s-process in massive stars around ...
Cross section of α-induced reactions on iridium isotopes obtained from thick target yield measurement for the astrophysical γ process
(2018-01-10)
The stellar reaction rates of radiative α-capture reactions on heavy isotopes are of crucial importance for the γ process network calculations. These rates are usually derived from statistical model calculations, which ...
