Nuclear Halo Effects in Neutron–capture Reactions of Astrophysical Interest
نویسنده
چکیده
The halo effect in the final states of astrophysically relevant direct neutron–capture reactions by neutron–rich nuclei is discussed. As an example, we calculate the cross sections for O(n,γ)O at thermonuclear and thermal energies.

The past and Future of Coulomb Dissociation in Hadron- and Astrophysics
Breakup reactions are generally quite complicated, they involve nuclear and electromagnetic forces including interference effects. Coulomb dissociation is an especially simple and important mechanism since the perturbation due to the electric field of the nucleus is exactly known. Therefore firm conclusions can be drawn from such measurements. Electromagnetic matrixelements, radiative capture c...

Nuclear reactions involving unstable nuclei play an important role in nucleosyn-thesis. Such reactions are mainly associated with explosive astrophysical scenarios occurring at the nal stages of stellar evolution. For many nuclear reactions involving unstable nuclei the direct reaction mechanism cannot be neglected and may even be the dominant reaction mechanism. For example, the direct{reactio...

During the last several decades, there have been a number of advances in understanding the rapid neutron-capture process (i.e., the r-process). These advances include large quantities of high-resolution spectroscopic abundance data of neutron-capture elements, improved astrophysical models, and increasingly more precise nuclear and atomic physics data. The elemental abundances of the heavy neut...
