Absolute cross sections for the 28Si(α, p)31P and 54Fe(α, p)57Co reactions have been measured for laboratory bombarding energies over the range 5.52 ≤ Eα ≤ 12.00 MeV, using targets of approximately 4-keV thickness. Ground state reaction rates were then deduced from these cross sections and stellar rates were deduced by multiplying by the ratio of stellar-to-ground state rates obtained from statistical model calculations. Stellar rates for the reverse reactions have been determined and are fitted by a parametric equation for ease of interpolation. The experimental cross sections and rates have been compared with statistical model calculations and are in reasonable agreement for the 54Fe(α, p)57Co reaction but deviate by as much as a factor of three for the 28Si(α, p)31P reaction.

Reaction Cross Sections

Nuclear reaction cross sections derived from statistical-model calculations have been used in the calculation of thermonuclear reaction rates for 36 nuclei at temperatures that are representative of the interiors of evolving stars and supernovae as nucleosynthesis approaches the production of nuclei with N = 28. The statistical-model calculations used optical-model parameters in the particle channels which had been selected to give the best overall agreement between theoretical and experimental cross sections for reactions on stable target nuclei in the mass and energy ranges of importance for the stellar conditions of interest. The optical-model parameters used, and the stellar reaction rates obtained, are tabulated. Comparisons are made between these stellar rates and those from other statistical-model calculations in the literature.

The Cross

The cross section of the reaction 55Mn(p, y)56Pe has been measured in the energy range 0�80-2�04 MeV and of the reaction 55Mn(p, n)55Pe from threshold to 2� 04 MeV. Statistical model calculations reproduce the (p, n) cross section to within a factor of 1� 4, but with the (p, y) reaction they fail by a factor ;;;:2 over a significant part of the energy range. Thermonuclear reaction rates are calculated from the data for temperatures in the range (1-5) x 109 K.

Thermonuclear Reaction Rate

Values of the ratio of the thermonuclear reaction rate of a reaction, with target nuclei in a thermal distribution of energy states, to the reaction rate with all target nuclei in their ground states are tabulated for neutron, proton and (X-particle induced reactions on the naturally occurring nuclei from 2�Ne to 70Zn, at temperatures of 1, 2, 3�5 and 5 x 109 K. The ratios are determined from reaction rates based on statistical model cross sections.

Good Agreement

Cross sections for the 24Mg(α,n)27Si, 25Mg(p,n)25Al, 27Al(p,n)27Si, and 28Si(α,n)31S reactions have been measured at energies from near threshold to 3 to 4 MeV above threshold by detection of 0.511 MeV γ-rays in coincidence following positron decay of the product nuclei. Comparison with the theoretical calculations of Woosley, Fowler, Holmes, and Zimmerman shows good agreement between experiment and theory except at low energies where the statistical model calculations tend to overestimate the cross section. Reaction rates have been calculated for temperatures of interest in explosive nucleosynthesis and found to be in good agreement with the statistical model predictions for temperatures above 2 × 109 K.

Reaction Cross Sections

Systematic experimental and theoretical investigations of the 72,73Ge(n,p)72,73 Ga and 72,74Ge(n,α)69,71Znm reaction cross sections are presented in the energy range from thresh- old to about 17 MeV neutron energy. The above reaction cross sections were measured from 8.8 to 11.4 MeV by using the activation method, relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na refer- ence reaction. The quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams were produced via the 2H(d,n)3He reaction at the 5 MV VdG Tandem T11/25 accelerator of NCSR “Demokritos”. Statisti- cal model calculations using the code EMPIRE-II (version 2.19) taking into consideration pre-equilibrium emission were performed on the data measured in this work as well as on data reported in literature.

AbstractThe neutron-capture cross sections of 186,187Os have been recently measured at the CERN neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF for an improved evaluation of the Re/Os cosmo-chronometer. This experimental information was complemented by nuclear model calculations for obtaining the proper astrophysical reaction rates at s-process temperatures. The calculated results and their implications for the determination of the time-duration of nucleosynthesis during galactic chemical evolution is discussed.
