Recent measurements of capture reactions using HECTOR

ORAL

Abstract

The formation of p-nuclei and their abundances are an important and ongoing study in nuclear astrophysical measurements. To understand and constrain theoretical models on the abundances of p-nuclei, further measurements of important reactions in the γ-process path are needed. For this purpose we employ the gamma-summing detector HECTOR to measure (p,g) and (a,g) reactions relevant to the gamma-process nucleosynthesis. The measurements presented here utilize both the 5U and the FN accelerators at the Nuclear Science Laboratory at the University of Notre Dame. In this talk, experimental results for Zr and Sn isotopes will be discussed.
