The (n, α) reaction in the s-process branching point 59Ni
(2014-06)
The (n, α) reaction in the radioactive 59Ni is of relevance in nuclear astrophysics as 59Ni can be considered as the first branching point in the astrophysical s-process. Its relevance in nuclear technology is especially ...
Neutron Capture Reactions on Fe and Ni Isotopes for the Astrophysical s-process
(2014-06)
Neutron capture cross sections in the keV neutron energy region are the key nuclear physics input to study the astrophysical slow neutron capture process. In the past years, a series of neutron capture cross section ...
The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars Project - Status and Prospects
(2014-06)
The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) project is an astrophysical online database for cross sections relevant for nucleosynthesis in the s process and the γ process. The s-process ...
