Neutron Capture Reactions near N=82 Shell-Closure

Abstract

Neutron capture cross-sections have been calculated in nuclei near the N=82 neutron shell closure. These nuclei are of astrophysical interest, participating in s-process and p-process. A semi-microscopic optical model have been used with the potential being obtained through folding the target density with the DDM3Y nucleon nucleon interaction. Theoretical density values have been calculated in the relativistic mean field approach. The calculated cross-section, as a function of neutron energy, agree reasonably well with experimental measurements. Maxwellian averaged cross-sections, important for astrophysical processes, have been calculated.
