Neutron-capture elements in low metallicity Galactic halo stars vary widely both in overall contents and detailed abundance patterns. This review discusses recent observational results on the n-capture elements, discussing the implications for early Galactic nucleosynthesis of: (a) the star-to-star " bulk " variations in the n-capture/Fe abundance ratios; (b) the distinct signature of rapid n-c...
متن کاملCalculations of Nuclear Reactions of Astrophysical Interest Involving Unstable Nuclei
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...
متن کاملProton Elastic Scattering and Neutron Distribution of Unstable Nuclei
We study theoretically how we can determine the neutron density distributions of unstable nuclei from proton elastic scattering. We apply the relativistic impulse model to study the sensitivities of the observables to the density distributions which are expressed in Woods-Saxon form. We find that the both radius and diffuseness of densities can be determined from restricted elastic scattering d...
متن کاملFusion Induced by Radioactive Ion Beams
The use of radioactive beams opens a new frontier for fusion studies. The coupling to the continuum can be explored with very loosely bound nuclei. Experiments were performed with beams of nuclei at or near the proton and neutron drip-lines to measure fusion and associated reactions in the vicinity of the Coulomb barrier. In addition, the fusion yield is predicted to be enhanced in reactions in...
متن کاملLow-lying dipole strength in neutron-rich nuclei
The possibility of performing nowadays reactions with beams of unstable nuclei has opened a new field of study in nuclear physics. Using stable nuclei as targets and carrying out the experiments in inverse kinematics it becomes possible to have access to the excitation spectrum of the incoming short-lived projectiles. To this aim the most often used reactions are the Coulomb excitation and the ...
