被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:17.16(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The long-lived Fe (with a half-life of 2.62 Myr) is a crucial diagnostic of active nucleosynthesis in the Milky Way galaxy and in supernovae near the solar system. The neutron-capture reaction
Fe(n,
)
Fe on
Fe (half-life=44.5 days) is the key reaction for the production of
Fe in massive stars. This reaction cross section has been previously constrained by the Coulomb dissociation experiment, which offered partial constraint on the E1
-ray strength function but a negligible constraint on the M1 and E2 components. In this work, for the first time, we use the surrogate ratio method to experimentally determine the
Fe(n,
)
Fe cross sections in which all the components are included. We derived a Maxwellian-averaged cross section of 27.5
3.5 mb at
= 30 keV and 13.4
1.7 mb at
= 90 keV, roughly 10%-20% higher than previous estimates. We analyzed the impact of our new reaction rates in nucleosynthesis models of massive stars and found that uncertainties in the production of
Fe from the
Fe(n,
)
Fe rate are at most 25
. We conclude that stellar physics uncertainties now play a major role in the accurate evaluation of the stellar production of
Fe.

被引用回数:5 パーセンタイル:24.24(Astronomy & Astrophysics)The Zr(
)
Zr reaction cross section is crucial in the modelling of
-process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars because it controls the operation of the branching point at the unstable
Zr and the subsequent production of
Zr. We have carried out the measurement of the
Zr(
O,
O) and
Zr(
O,
O) reactions and obtained the
-decay probability ratio of
Zr
and
Zr
to determine the
Zr(
)
Zr reaction cross sections with the surrogate ratio method. We tested our deduced maxwellian-averaged cross section in stellar models with masses between 2 and 6
and metallicities 0.014 and 0.03. The largest changes - up 80 % variations in
Zr - are seen in the models of 3-4
, where the
Ne neutron source is mildly activated. The new rate can still provide a match to data from meteoritic stardust silicon carbide grains, provided the maximum mass of the parent stars is below 4
, for a metallicity of 0.03.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:47.4(Physics, Nuclear)The relative -decay probability ratios of the neutron resonance states in
Zr and
Zr populated via two neutron transfer reactions,
Zr(
O,
O)
Zr and
Zr(
O,
O)
Zr, have been measured to test the validity of the surrogate ratio method (SRM) in determining the (n,
) reaction cross section. The cross sections of the
Zr(n,
)
Zr reaction are derived from the experimentally obtained ratios and the cross sections of the
Zr(n,
)
Zr reaction in the equivalent neutron energy range of
= 0 - 8 MeV. The deduced cross sections of
Zr(n,
)
Zr reaction agree with the directly measured ones in the low-energy region, and with the evaluated ENDF/B-VII.1 data at higher energies of
3 MeV. The agreement supports the concept of the SRM method to indirectly determine the (n,
) reaction cross sections.
