12 Ø The branching at 85 Kr is significant for s-process modeling. Ø This branching is independent of temperature and depends only on the neutron density. Ø Helps to constrain the neutron density parameter in models of AGB stars. Ø 85 Kr (T 1/2 = y) neutron capture not measured.

15 TECHIQUE USED: Combine β-decay and γ-emission measurements using γ-ray total absorption spectrometer (TAS). Analyse γ-ray spectra using the Oslo -method. OBJECTIVE: Experimental determination of the nuclear level density (NLD) and the γ-ray strength function (γsf). These two quantities (and the nucleon-nucleus optical model potential) are essential for calculating the neutron-capture cross section. RESULT: Proof-of-principle application to 75 Ge(n,γ) shows good agreement with known result. OPEN QUESTIONS: 1. Approach made heavy use of available nuclear structure information. How much independent information does this type of measurement yield? 2. Only the functional form of the NLD and γsf are obtained from the primary γ-ray spectra from MeV. 3. The slope and absolute value must be determined by other means.
16 (Submitted to PRC) PDR GDR TECHIQUE USED: Nuclear resonance fluorescence technique. OBJECTIVE: Direct measurements of the ptotoabsorption cross section below the neutron separation energy, hence direct measure of the γ-ray strength function (γsf) needed for inversed (n,γ) calculations. RESULT: Photoabsorption cross section of 76 Ge(γ,γ ) from 4 to Sn (9.4 MeV). OPEN QUESTIONS: This approach is applicable for systems where A is stable and A-1 is a radioactive nucleus.

18 First Results 1. γ-ray strength function of 76 Ge measured by the β-oslo methods is slightly lower compared to the photonscattering or NRF experiment. 2. γ-strength function obtained by the photonscattering method show more structural effect compared to the one obtained via the β-oslo methods. 18

21 Summary and Future Work 1. Good agreement is obtained for capture cross-section measurement on 75 Ge from the NRF and β-oslo methods. 2. Constraining the level density of 76 Ge by using the discrete levels at low excitation energy and information from neutronresonance experiments at the neutron separation energy Sn on neighboring germanium isotopes. Use the same normalization data as in the β-oslo approach. 3. Plug the γ-ray strength function of 76 Ge directly into the Hauser- Feshbach calculations to compare with the capture cross section on 75 Ge nucleus obtained by the β-oslo methods. Define the uncertainty of the predicted capture cross section based on both methods. 21
