Determination of ${}^{170,172}$Yb($\alpha ,n$)${}^{173,175}$Hf reaction cross sections in a stacked-target experiment

Martin Müller, Felix Heim, Yanzhao Wang +2

The ytterbium isotopic chain offers multiple stable isotopes on which cross sections can be measured and insights into the evolution of the $\alpha$ optical-model potential with the neu…
