Global Transmission Coefficients in Hauser-Feshbach Calculations for Astrophysics

Nuclear Theory 2007-05-23 v1 Astrophysics

Abstract

The current status of optical potentials employed in the prediction of thermonuclear reaction rates for astrophysics in the Hauser-Feshbach formalism is discussed. Special emphasis is put on α\alpha+nucleus potentials. A novel approach for the prediction of α\alpha+nucleus potentials is proposed. Further experimental efforts are motivated.
