Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:52.66(Physics, Nuclear)The spallation and fragmentation reactions of
Xe induced by proton, deuteron and carbon at 168 MeV/nucleon were studied at RIKEN Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory via the inverse kinematics technique. The cross sections of the lighter products are larger in the carbon-induced reactions due to the higher total kinetic energy of carbon. The energy dependence was investigated by comparing the newly obtained data with previous results obtained at higher reaction energies. The experimental data were compared with the results of SPACS, EPAX, PHITS and DEURACS calculations. These data serve as benchmarks for the model calculations.

Se immediately above the neutron separation energy with quasimonochromatic
-ray beams to experimentally constrain the E1

strength function and the level density that equally meet the experimental constraint predict largely different neutron capture cross sections for

N values of the main s-process component using a phenomenological model and deduced empirical abundances of the weak s-process component.

strength function, we estimate the neutron capture rates for
Se. The solar abundance ratio of s-only nuclides
Kr and
Kr are analyzed in terms of the s-process branching at
Se within the local approximation. The corresponding temperature and neutron density regimes are discussed in the light of the s-process scenario in massive stars.

Neutron capture cross sections of the unstable nuclei
Sm (t
=90yr) are the fundamental data for the nuclear transmutation, since the
Sm is one of radioactive fission products in the nuclear waste. On the other hand, the branching point nucleus
Sm is important for characterizing the slow neutron capture process (s-process) nucleosynthesis in the AGB stars. The cross sections of the inverse

The results are compared with the predictions of Hauser-Feshbach statistical calculations using four different sets of input parameters. In addition, the inverse neutron capture cross sections were evaluated by constraining the model parameters, especially the
strength function, on the basis of the experimental data. The present experiment helps to further constrain the correction factor
for the neutron capture on the 9.75 keV state in
Os. Implications of

The scattered
-rays from nuclear resonance fluorescence of Pb-206 were measured, irradiating bremsstrahlung
-rays at the HZDR in Germany, in order to evaluate neutron capture cross section of unstable Pb-205. The absorption cross section of
-rays for Pb-206 was fixed with the scattering strengths derived from the measured data. In this talk the neutron capture cross section of Pb-205 evaluated will be reported, together with the measured results.
