${}^{180}$Ta production in the classical s-process

Abstract

The production and survival of the quasistable isomer ${}^{180}$Ta during the stellar nucleosynthesis has remained a matter of discussion for years. A careful analysis of the available experimental data and theoretical calculations enabled us to reproduce the observed solar abundance of ${}^{180}$Ta in the classical s-process ($kT=28$ keV -- 33 keV).
