Astrophysical Implications of Recent Photos-Absorption Measurements

ORAL

Abstract

Photo-absorption cross sections are a fundamental ingredient in nuclear reaction model calculations. Recently, a set of photo-absorption cross sections, including a chain of Mo isotopes (A = 92 -- 100), have been measured at the Forschungszentrum Dresden using the ELBE accelerator. The impact of these photo-absorption cross section measurements on astrophysical reaction rates is discussed.
