The cross sections of the 72Ge( α , γ)76Se and 1°7Ag(ρ, γ)1°8Cd reactions were measured at energies relevant to p-process nucleosynthesis. The new data, together with cross section results from our previous ( α , γ) measure-ments on 65Cu and 118Sn and other ( α , γ) cross-section data reported in lit-erature are compared with statistical model calculations performed using the latest version (1.9) of the statistical model code TALYS. In addition, the effect on these calculations of different combinations of the optical model potentials (OMPs), nuclear level densities (NLDs) and γ-ray strength functions (γSFs) entering the calculations was investigated.

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.

In the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR "Demokritos" monoenergetic neutron beams can be produced in the energy ranges 120-650 keV, 4-11.5 MeV and 16-20.5 MeV by using the 7Li(p,n), 2H(d,n) and 3H(d,n) reactions, respectively. The corresponding beam energies and ions delivered by the accelerator, are 1.92-2.37 MeV protons, 0.8-9.6 MeV deuterons and 0.8-3.7 MeV deuterons, for the three reactions, respectively. Experimental results for neutron energies from threshold up to 11.5 MeV and at 17.1 MeV will be given for the 232Th(n,2n)231Th reaction, while for the 241 Am(n,2n)240 Am reaction, preliminary cross section data at 10.4, 10.6 and 17.1 MeV will be discussed. In the framework of the CERN n-TOF collaboration, the cross section of these reactions have been measured relative to the 197Au(n,2n)196Au, 27Al(n,a)24Na and 93Nb(n,2n) reaction cross sections, by using the activation method. In addition to the experimental work, theoretical Statistical model calculations are being carried out using the computer code STAPRE/F. The results are compared to the experimental data.

In the analysis of the 64Ni(p, y)65CU cross-section data (Fig. 2, p. 467), insufficient weight was placed on the influence of resonance to ground state transitions. When these transitions are properly taken into account, the measured cross section is increased by amounts varying from 5 % to 30 % for individual points. A plot of the revised data, together with the predictions of the statistical model code HAUSER*4 is now presented

The72Ge(n,α)69mZn, 74Ge(n,α)71mZn, 76Ge(n,2n)75g+mGe reaction cross sections have been measured from 9.6 to 11.4 MeV and studied, along with data from litera- ture, within the frame of statistical model calculations by using the code EMPIRE-II.

Cross sections have been measured for the reactions 53Cr(p, y)5 4Mn, 53Cr(p, n)53Mn and 53Cr(p, p/)53Cr over the proton energy range O'88-2'40 MeV. The results are compared with the predictions of statistical model, calculations with global optical model parameters, with particular reference to the role of isobaric analogue resonances. Satisfactory agreement between theory and experiment is achieved for all three reactions.

Proton-capture reaction cross sections of Se isotopes were determined in the 1-6 MeV energy range by means of γ-angular distribution measurements as well as via the activation technique. In this report we compare our first cross-section results with statistical model calculations performed using various microscopic and phenomenological approaches of Optical Model Potentials and Nuclear Level Densities.

Within the framework of an extended optical model, we study elastic scattering and fusion cross section data for 9 Be + 144 Sm system near Coulomb barrier energies to determine the polarization potential decomposed into direct reaction and fusion parts. We show that the direct reaction and fusion potentials extracted from χ2 analyses separately satisfy the dispersion relation and that the threshold anomaly exhibits in the fusion part. The analyses using only elastic scattering and fusion data can furnish very consistent and reliable predictions of cross sections even though the direct reaction cross section data are not enough. From these analyses, we also obtain the semi-experimental α single and α–α coincidence cross sections, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], for 9 Be + 144 Sm system.

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.
