Uncertainties in p-process nucleosynthesis from Monte Carlo variation of reaction rates
N. Nishimura, T. Rauscher, R. Hirschi +3
It has been suggested that a p process can occur when hot, dense, and proton-rich matter is expanding within a strong flux of anti-neutrinos. In such an environment, proton-rich…
The s-process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars: impact of the uncertainties in the nuclear physics determined by Monte Carlo variations
G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi, N. Nishimura +4
We investigated the impact of uncertainties in neutron-capture and weak reactions (on heavy elements) on the s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars using a Monte-Carlo based a…
Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in low mass stars determined from Monte Carlo variations
G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi, N. Nishimura +4
The main s-process taking place in low mass stars produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. It is therefore very important to determine the importance and impact of nu…
Sensitivity to neutron captures and beta-decays of the enhanced s-process in rotating massive stars at low metallicities
N. Nishimura, R. Hirschi, T. Rauscher
The s-process in massive stars, producing nuclei up to , has a different behaviour at low metallicity if stellar rotation is significant. This enhanced s-process is di…
Impacts of nuclear-physics uncertainties in the s-process determined by Monte-Carlo variations
N. Nishimura, G. Cescutti, R. Hirschi +3
The s-process, a production mechanism based on slow-neutron capture during stellar evolution, is the origin of about half the elements heavier than iron. Abundance predictions for…
Uncertainties in the production of p nuclides in thermonuclear supernovae determined by Monte Carlo variations
N. Nishimura, T. Rauscher, R. Hirschi +3
Thermonuclear supernovae originating from the explosion of a white dwarf accreting mass from a companion star have been suggested as a site for the production of nuclides. Such…
