Reaction Rate Sensitivity of the gamma-Process Path
arXiv:astro-ph/0407324 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2005.05.100
Abstract
The location of the (gamma,p)/(gamma,n) and (gamma,alpha)/(gamma,n) line at gamma-process temperatures is discussed, using recently published reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can directly be compared to previously published, classic gamma-process discussions. The nuclei exhibiting the largest sensitivity to uncertainties in nuclear structure and reaction parameters are specified.
