Reaction Rate Sensitivity of the γ-Process Path Original Research Article

The location of the (γ,p)/(γ,n) and (γ,α)/(γ,n) line at γ-process temperatures is discussed, using recently published reaction rates based on global Hauser-Feshbach calculations. The results can directly be compared to previously published, classic γ-process discussions. The nuclei exhibiting the largest sensitivity to uncertainties in nuclear structure and reaction parameters are specified.
