2 Photonuclear and radiative-capture reactions Excitation and deexcitation of the nucleus by γ rays: - Statistical models applied to describe reaction rates at high excitation energy and high level density. - γ-ray strength functions used to describe average transition strengths in a certain energy range. - Understanding of the properties of γ-ray strength functions attracts increasing interest. Application: - Photonuclear and radiative-capture reactions play a central role in the synthesis of the elements in various stellar environments. Cassiopeia A (gallery.spitzer.caltech.edu)
3 Effect of enhanced low-energy dipole strength in the r-process The nucleus goes red. Unexpected upbend of dipole strength toward low energy observed in Fe, Mo, Cd isotopes. Courtesy of M. Guttormsen. Ratios of Maxwellian-averaged (n,γ) reaction rates at T = 10 9 K for isotopic chains up to the neutron drip line using strength functions with and without low-energy upbend of dipole strength. A.C. Larsen, S. Goriely, PRC 82, (2010) Big influence of low-energy strength on neutron-capture rates of very neutron-rich nuclei in the astrophysical r-process.
4 Gamma-ray strength functions Gamma-ray strength functions describe average electromagnetic transition strengths in the quasicontinuum of nuclear states at high excitation energy: f fil (E γ ) = Γ fil ρ(e i,j i ) / E 2L+1 γ E γ = E i E f J i = 0,..., J max Photoabsorption: f L = σ γ / [(2J i +1)/(2J 0 +1) (π hc) 2 E 2L 1 γ ] E γ = E i J i = 1, (2) Brink-Axel hypothesis: The strength function does not depend on the excitation energy. The strength function for excitation is identical with the one for deexcitation.
