A small number of naturally occurring, proton-rich nuclides (the p-nuclei) cannot be made in
the s-and r-processes. Their origin is not well understood. Massive stars can produce p …

The astrophysical p-process, which is responsible for the origin of the proton-rich stable
nuclei heavier than iron, was investigated using a full nuclear reaction network for a Type II …

Photon-induced reactions play a key role in the nucleosynthesis of rare neutron-deficient p-
nuclei. The paper focuses on (γ,α), (γ,\rmp), and (γ,\rmn) reactions which define the …

The impact of low-energy multipole excitations and pygmy resonances on radiative neutron
and proton-capture cross sections in nuclei close to the β-stability line is investigated. For …

Abstract The Tandem Accelerator Laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos,” Athens, Greece, is
presented. A technical description of the laboratory, the installed setups together with …

The Cd 106 (α, γ) Sn 110 reaction cross section has been measured in the energy range of
the Gamow window for the astrophysical p-process scenario. The cross sections for Cd 106 …

A new method employing a 12 inch× 12 inch γ-summing single NaI crystal was developed
for cross-section measurements of astrophysically relevant capture reactions on medium …

The cross section of the reaction Sn 112 (α, γ) Te 116 has been measured in the energy
range of astrophysical interest for the p-process. Highly enriched self-supporting Sn 112 foils …

A dedicated setup for the in-beam measurement of absolute cross-sections of
astrophysically relevant charged-particle induced reactions is presented. These, usually …

Cross sections for the Yb 168 (α, γ) Hf 172 and Yb 168 (α, n) Hf 171 reactions were
measured by means of the activation method using α particles with energies between 12.9 …
