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 …

Beyond iron, a small fraction of the total abundances in the Solar System is made of proton-
rich isotopes, the p-nuclei. The clear understanding of their production is a fundamental …

This work presents a direct measurement of the Ru 96 (p, γ) Rh 97 cross section via a novel
technique using a storage ring, which opens opportunities for reaction measurements on …

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 …

Partial cross sections of the Y 89 (p, γ) Zr 90 reaction have been measured to investigate the
γ-ray strength function in the neutron–magic nucleus 90 Zr. For five proton energies between …

Proper understanding of the stellar nucleosynthesis processes requires information on a
variety of capture reaction cross sections. Since these cross sections are typically very low …

Background: The nucleosynthesis of the neutron-deficient p nuclei remains an open
question in nuclear astrophysics. Beside uncertainties on the astrophysical side, the nuclear …

Background: The nucleosynthesis of the group of neutron-deficient p nuclei remains an
unsolved puzzle in nuclear astrophysics. Among these nuclei, Mo 94 is one of the most …

The particle spectrometer SONIC for particle-γ coincidence measurements was
commissioned at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Cologne, Germany. SONIC consists of …
