Probing astrophysically important states in ${}^{26}$Mg nucleus to study neutron sources for the $s$-Process

R. Talwar, T. Adachi, G. P. A. Berg +20

The ${}^{22}$Ne($\hat{I}\pm$,n)${}^{25}$Mg reaction is the dominant neutron source for the slow neutron capture process ($s$-process) in massive stars and contributes, together with the $^{13}…
