In order to extend the experimental database relevant for the astrophysical -process towards the unexplored heavier mass region, the cross sections of the 151 Eu(�,) 155 Tb and 151 Eu(�,n) 154 Tb reactions have been measured at low energies between 12 and 17MeV using the activation technique. The results are compared with the predictions of statistical model calculations and it is found that the calculations overestimate the cross sections by about a factor of two. A sensitivity analysis shows…
