The neutron capture cross section of $^{154}$Gd was measured from 1 eV to 300 keV in the experimental area located 185 m from the CERN n\_TOF neutron spallation source, using a metallic sample of gadolinium, enriched to 67$\%$ in…
The adopted level densities (LD) for the nuclei produced through different reaction mechanisms significantly impact the calculation of cross sections for the many reaction channels. Common LD models make simplified assumptions regarding the…
Natural gadolinium is widely used for its excellent thermal neutron capture cross section, because of its two major isotopes: $^{\rm 155}$Gd and $^{\rm 157}$Gd. We measured the $\gamma$-ray spectra produced from the thermal neutron capture…
Evaporated $\alpha$-spectra have been measured in coincidence with low energy discrete $\gamma$-rays from residual nucleus $^{68}$Zn populated in the reaction $^{64}$Ni($^9$Be,$\alpha$n)$^{68}$Zn at $E(^9$Be) = 30 MeV producing $^{73}$Ge…
We demonstrate to extract $^{88}\mathrm{Y}(n,\gamma)$ cross sections using the $(p,p'\gamma)$ surrogate reaction with proper treatment of the spin-parity distribution of the compound nucleus $^{89}\mathrm{Y}$. Experimental data of both…
The photo-neutron cross sections of $^{162,163}\rm{Dy}$ have been measured for the first time in an energy region from the neutron threshold ($S_n$) up to $\approx$ $13$~MeV. The ($\gamma$,n) reaction was induced with quasi-monochromatic…
Neutron capture measurements on $^{155}$Gd and $^{157}$Gd were performed using the time-of-flight technique at the n\_TOF facility at CERN. Four samples in form of self-sustaining metallic discs isotopically enriched in $^{155}$Gd and…
A new empirical formula has been developed that describes the $({\gamma}, n)$ nuclear reaction cross sections for the isotopes with $Z \geq 60$. The results were supported by calculations using TALYS - 1.6, EMPIRE - 3.2.2 nuclear modular…
The STEREO experiment measures the electron antineutrino spectrum emitted in a research reactor using the inverse beta decay reaction on H nuclei in a gadolinium loaded liquid scintillator. The detection is based on a signal coincidence of…
Gravitational waves (GW) emanating from unstable quasi-normal modes in Neutron Stars (NS) could be accessible with the improved sensitivity of the current GW detectors or with the next-generation GW detectors and, therefore, can be employed…
The stellar (n, $\gamma$) cross section data for the mass numbers around A $\approx$ 160 are of key importance to nucleosynthesis in the main component of the slow neutron capture process, which occur in the thermally pulsing asymptotic…
The nuclear level density (NLD) and the $\gamma$-ray strength function (GSF) of the neutron-deficient $^{109}$In isotope were extracted for the first time with data from the $^{106}$Cd$(\alpha,p\gamma)^{109}$In reaction using a combination…
Nuclear level densities (NLDs) and $\gamma$-ray strength functions ($\gamma$SFs) have been extracted from particle-$\gamma$ coincidences of the $^{92}$Zr($p,p' \gamma$)$^{92}$Zr and $^{92}$Zr($p,d \gamma$)$^{91}$Zr reactions using the Oslo…
The total cross sections for the $^{152}$Gd(p,$\gamma$)$^{153}$Tb and $^{152}$Gd(p,n)$^{152}$Tb reactions have been measured by the activation method at effective center-of-mass energies \mbox{$3.47 \leq E_\mathrm{c.m.}^\mathrm{eff}\leq…
The diverse measured data base of n+243Am was evaluated using a statistical theory and genera-lized least squares codes. Consistent description of total, capture and fission measured data provides an important constraint for the inelastic…
We investigate both the systematic and statistical uncertainties associated with theoretical nuclear reaction rates of relevance during the i-process and explore their impact on the i-process elemental production, and subsequently on the…
Explosive nuclear burning in astrophysical environments produces unstable nuclei which again can be targets for subsequent reactions. In addition, it involves a large number of stable nuclides which are not fully explored by experiments,…
The abundances of n-capture elements in the CEMP-r/s stars agree with predictions of intermediate n-density nucleosynthesis, at $N_\mathrm{n}\sim 10^{13}$-$10^{15} \mathrm{cm}^{-3}$, in rapidly-accreting white dwarfs (RAWDs). We have…
The stable gallium isotopes, $^{69,71}$Ga, are mostly produced by the weak slow ($s$) process in massive stars. We report here on measurements of astrophysically-relevant neutron capture cross sections of the $^{69,71}$Ga$(n,\gamma)$…
We consider the effects of uncertainties in nuclear reaction rates on the cosmological constraints on the decays of unstable particles during or after Big-Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). We identify the nuclear reactions due to non-thermal…
