Galactic Chemical Evolution of Radioactive Isotopes with an s-process Contribution

T. C. L. Trueman, B. Côté, A. Yagüe López +5

Analysis of inclusions in primitive meteorites reveals that several short-lived radionuclides (SLRs) with half-lives Myr existed in the early Solar System (ESS). We inves…

The Fe(n, γ)Fe Cross Section from the Surrogate Ratio Method and Its Effect on the Fe Nucleosynthesis

S. Q. Yan, X. Y. Li, K. Nishio +39

The long-lived Fe (with a half-life of 2.62 Myr) is a crucial diagnostic of active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way galaxy and in supernovae near the solar system. The neutr…
