摘要:Advanced astrophysical reaction-network calculations for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements
within the s, r, and p processes involve ten thousands of reactions. Most of the reaction rates
are adopted from calculations based on the Hauser-Feshbach theory. Experimental investigations
of photoneutron reaction rates are well suited to test the reliability of these calculations and to
constrain the nuclear-physics input relevant for statistical model codes. In this context, recent
experimental results stemming from photoactivation experiments are discussed.
