Neutron-induced cross sections -- from raw data to astrophysical rates

René Reifarth, Philipp Erbacher, Stefan Fiebiger +13

Neutron capture cross sections are one of the most important nuclear inputs to models of stellar nucleosynthesis of the elements heavier than iron. The activation technique and the…

Neutron Reactions in Astrophysics

R. Reifarth, C. Lederer, F. Käppeler

The quest for the origin of matter in the Universe had been the subject of philosophical and theological debates over the history of mankind, but quantitative answers could be foun…

Neutron Capture Cross Sections for the Weak s Process

M. Heil, A. Juseviciute, F. Kaeppeler +3

In past decades a lot of progress has been made towards understanding the main s-process component that takes place in thermally pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. During…

The 14C(n,g) cross section between 10 keV and 1 MeV

R. Reifarth, M. Heil, C. Forssen +14

The neutron capture cross section of 14C is of relevance for several nucleosynthesis scenarios such as inhomogeneous Big Bang models, neutron induced CNO cycles, and neutrino drive…
