Cross sections for inelastic scattering of protons by 45SC have been measured over the energy range Ep = 1?2-2? 5 MeV for protons leading to the second, third, fourth, sixth and eighth excited states of 45SC. Statistical model calculations are' in good agreement with the data. Further statistical model cross section calculations are used in an investigation of the part played by inelastic and superelastic scattering of protons in bringing about a thermal distribution of states in 45SCin a stellar interior under the conditions of explosive silicon burning. This mechanism is found to be effective for temperatures above 4? ?x 109 K

The 7Li + 11 Β reaction has been studied in the energy range from a little below to about three times the Coulomb barrier by measuring the cross section of the 7- ray transitions in the residual nuclei produced. Statistical compound nucleus calculations have been performed in order to interpret the experimental data as well as to extract cross sections of the individual exit channels. The statistical compound nucleus theory can reproduce rather well the absolute j - ray and the various reaction channel excitation functions.

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.

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.

Cross sections for the 70,76Ge(n,2n), 72,73Ge(n,p) and 72,74Ge(n, α) reactions have been measured at the 5.5 MV tandem T11/25 Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR Demokritos, using the activation technique. Neutron beams have been produced in the ~16-20 MeV energy region, by means of the 3H(d,n)4He reaction. The maximum flux has been determined to be of the order of 105 n/cm2 s, while the flux variation of the neutron beam was monitored by using a BF3 detector. The cross section has been deduced with respect to the 27Al(n, α)24Na and 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb reference reactions. The contaminations from reactions induced on neighboring Ge isotopes and leading to the same residual nucleus, have been taken into account. After the end of the irradiations, the activity induced by the neutron beams at the targets and reference foils, has been measured by HPGe detectors. Statistical model calculations using the EMPIRE code were performed on the data measured in this work as well as on data reported in literature.

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.

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.

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.

Abstract. Absorption cross sections of nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) are reported at five atomic UV lines (184.95, 202.548, 206.200, 213.857, and 228.8 nm) at temperatures in the range 210–350 K. In addition, UV absorption spectra of CCl4 are reported between 200–235 nm as a function of temperature (225–350 K). The results from this work are critically compared with results from earlier studies. For N2O, the present results are in good agreement with the current JPL recommendation enabling a reduction in the estimated uncertainty in the N2O atmospheric photolysis rate. For CCl4, the present cross section results are systematically greater than the current recommendation at the reduced temperatures most relevant to stratospheric photolysis. The new cross sections result in a 5–7% increase in the modeled CCl4 photolysis loss, and a slight decrease in the stratospheric lifetime, from 51 to 50 years, for present day conditions. The corresponding changes in modeled inorganic chlorine and ozone in the stratosphere are quite small. A CCl4 cross section parameterization for use in atmospheric model calculations is presented.
