    Abstract The prediction of stellar (γ,α) reaction rates for heavy nuclei is based on the calculation of (α,γ) cross sections at sub-Coulomb energies. These rates are essential for modeling the nucleosynthesis of so-called p nuclei. The standard calculations in the statistical model show a dramatic sensitivity to the chosen α-nucleus potential. The present study explains the reason for this dramatic sensitivity which results from the tail of the imaginary α-nucleus potential in the underlying optical model calculation of the total reaction cross section. As an alternative to the optical model, a simple barrier transmission model is suggested. It is shown that this simple model in combination with a well-chosen α-nucleus potential is able to predict total α-induced reaction cross sections for a wide range of heavy target nuclei above A≳150 with uncertainties below a factor of 2. The new predictions from the simple model do not require any adjustment of parameters to experimental reaction cross sections whereas in previous statistical model calculations all predictions remained very uncertain because the parameters of the α-nucleus potential had to be adjusted to experimental data. The new model allows us to predict the reaction rate of the astrophysically important ^{176}W(α,γ)^{180}Os reaction with reduced uncertainties, leading to a significantly lower reaction rate at low temperatures. The new approach could also be validated for a broad range of target nuclei from A≈60 up to A≳200.

    Abstract The cross section of the ^{13}C(α,n)^{16}O reaction is needed for nuclear astrophysics and applications to a precision of 10% or better, yet inconsistencies among 50 years of experimental studies currently lead to an uncertainty of ≈15%. Using a state-of-the-art neutron detection array, we have performed a high resolution differential cross section study covering a broad energy range. These measurements result in a dramatic improvement in the extrapolation of the cross section to stellar energies potentially reducing the uncertainty to ≈5% and resolving long standing discrepancies in higher energy data.

    Abstract The half-life of (66)Ga, an isotope very important for high-energy efficiency calibration of γ-detectors, has been measured using γ-spectroscopy. In order to reduce systematic uncertainties, different source production methods and γ-counting conditions have been applied. A half-life value of t(1/2)=(9.312±0.032)h has been obtained in agreement with a recent measurement but in contradiction with some of the earlier results.

    Abstract Lighter heavy elements beyond iron and up to around silver can form in neutrino-driven ejecta in core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. Slightly neutron-rich conditions favour a weak r-process that follows a path close to stability. Therefore, the beta decays are slow compared to the expansion time scales, and ($\alpha$,n) reactions become critical to move matter towards heavier nuclei. The rates of these reactions are calculated with the statistical model and their main uncertainty, at energies relevant for the weak r-process, is the $\alpha$+nucleus optical potential. There are several sets of parameters to calculate the $\alpha$+nucleus optical potential leading to large deviations for the reaction rates, exceeding even one order of magnitude. Recently the $^{96}$Zr($\alpha$,n)$^{99}$Mo reaction has been identified as a key reaction that impacts the production of elements from Ru to Cd. Here, we present the first cross section measurement of this reaction at energies (6.22 MeV $\leq$ E$_\mathrm{c.m.}$ $\leq$ 12.47 MeV) relevant for the weak r-process. The new data provide a stringent test of various model predictions which is necessary to improve the precision of the weak r-process network calculations. The strongly reduced reaction rate uncertainty leads to very well-constrained nucleosynthesis yields for $Z = 44 - 48$ isotopes under different neutrino-driven wind conditions.

    Abstract A small number of naturally occurring, proton-rich nuclides (the p-nuclei) cannot be made in the s- and r-processes. Their origin is not well understood. Massive stars can produce p-nuclei through photodisintegration of pre-existing intermediate and heavy nuclei. This so-called γ-process requires high stellar plasma temperatures and occurs mainly in explosive O/Ne burning during a core-collapse supernova. Although the γ-process in massive stars has been successful in producing a large range of p-nuclei, significant deficiencies remain. An increasing number of processes and sites has been studied in recent years in search of viable alternatives replacing or supplementing the massive star models. A large number of unstable nuclei, however, with only theoretically predicted reaction rates are included in the reaction network and thus the nuclear input may also bear considerable uncertainties. The current status of astrophysical models, nuclear input and observational constraints is reviewed. After an overview of currently discussed models, the focus is on the possibility to better constrain those models through different means. Meteoritic data not only provide the actual isotopic abundances of the p-nuclei but can also put constraints on the possible contribution of proton-rich nucleosynthesis. The main part of the review focuses on the nuclear uncertainties involved in the determination of the astrophysical reaction rates required for the extended reaction networks used in nucleosynthesis studies. Experimental approaches are discussed together with their necessary connection to theory, which is especially pronounced for reactions with intermediate and heavy nuclei in explosive nuclear burning, even close to stability.

    Abstract The ^{12}C/^{13}C ratio is a significant indicator of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes during hydrogen burning in stars. Its value mainly depends on the relative rates of the ^{12}C(p,γ)^{13}N and ^{13}C(p,γ)^{14}N reactions. Both reactions have been studied at the Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics (LUNA) in Italy down to the lowest energies to date (E_{c.m.}=60  keV) reaching for the first time the high energy tail of hydrogen burning in the shell of giant stars. Our cross sections, obtained with both prompt γ-ray detection and activation measurements, are the most precise to date with overall systematic uncertainties of 7%-8%. Compared with most of the literature, our results are systematically lower, by 25% for the ^{12}C(p,γ)^{13}N reaction and by 30% for ^{13}C(p,γ)^{14}N. We provide the most precise value up to now of 3.6±0.4 in the 20-140 MK range for the lowest possible ^{12}C/^{13}C ratio that can be produced during H burning in giant stars.

    Abstract It is commonly assumed that reaction measurements for astrophysics should be preferably performed in the direction of a positive Q value to minimize the impact of the stellar enhancement factor, i.e., the difference between the laboratory rate and the actual stellar rate. We show that the stellar effects can be minimized in the charged particle channel, even when the reaction Q value is negative. As a demonstration, the cross section of the astrophysically relevant 85Rb(p,n)85Sr reaction has been measured by activation between 2.16 < or = Ec.m. < or = 3.96 MeV and the astrophysical reaction rate for (p, n) as well as (n, p) is directly inferred from the data. The presented arguments are also relevant for other alpha- and proton-induced reactions in the p and rp processes. Additionally, our results confirm a previously derived modification of a global optical proton potential.
