NEUTRON CROSS SECTIONS FOR NUCLEOSYNTHESIS STUDIES
Previous compilations of (n, gamma) cross sections of relevance for neutron capture nucleosynthesis in the big bang and in the slow neutron capture process (s process) have been updated to encompass…

s-process nucleosynthesis-nuclear physics and the classical model
Among the various processes responsible for the formation of the heavy elements in stars, the slow neutron capture process (s-process) is distinguished by the fact that it involves mostly stable…

Synthesis of the elements in stars: forty years of progress
Forty years ago Burbidge, Burbidge, Fowler, and Hoyle combined what we would now call fragmentary evidence from nuclear physics, stellar evolution and the abundances of elements and isotopes in the…

Asymptotic-Giant-Branch Models at Very Low Metallicity
Abstract In this paper we present the evolution of a low-mass model (initial mass M = 1.5 M⊙) with a very low metal content (Z = 5 × 10−5, equivalent to [Fe/H] = –2.44). We find that, at the…

The Weak s-Component and Nucleosynthesis in Massive Stars
The difficulties of the phenomenological analysis of the weak s-component and the need for a comparison with the astrophysical picture are discussed. New results of s-process calculations in massive…

The 13 C ( α , n ) reaction and its role as a neutron source for the s process
The ${}^{13}C(\ensuremath{\alpha},n){}^{16}O$ reaction constitutes the dominant neutron source for the main $s$ process, which operates at a thermal energy of $\mathit{kT}=8$ keV. Since the cross…

Performance of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
Abstract.The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF features a white neutron source produced by spallation through 20GeV/c protons impinging on a lead target. The facility, aiming primarily at the…

Stellar (n, {gamma}) cross sections for Br and Rb: Matching the weak and main s-process components
The stellar (n, {gamma}) cross sections of {sup 79}Br, {sup 81}Br, {sup 85}Rb, and {sup 87}Rb have been determined by a series of ten activation measurements in a quasistellar neutron spectrum…
