Activation cross section measurement of the 100Mo(α,n)103Ru reaction for optical potential studies

The light neutron-rich nuclei can be synthesized via (α,n) reactions in the so-called weak r-process. The abundances of these species are derived using reaction network calculations. Such a simulation has astrophysical and nuclear physics inputs, one of the most uncertain parameter is the α-nucleus...

Description
Summary:	The light neutron-rich nuclei can be synthesized via (α,n) reactions in the so-called weak r-process. The abundances of these species are derived using reaction network calculations. Such a simulation has astrophysical and nuclear physics inputs, one of the most uncertain parameter is the α-nucleus optical potential. (α,n) cross section measurements can be used to evaluate α-optical potentials. For this purpose, the activation cross section measurement of the 100Mo(α,n)103Ru reaction is in progress at Atomki.
