摘要:Photodesintegration rates – like (g,n), (g,p), and (g,a) – play an important role in the nucleosynthesis
of the so-called p nuclei. These proton-rich, in general very low-abundant isotopes cannot
be produced by neutron capture reactions. Experiments using continuous-energy bremsstrahlung
and the activation technique are perfectly suited to carry out systematic surveys on (g,n) reactions.
In addition, single cases can be studied in more detail using energy-resolved methods as provided
by photon sources based on the principle of Laser-Compton backscattering or photon tagging. An
overview about current results on photon-induced reactions and recent instrumental developments
is given.
