Elastic scattering cross sections of the $^{89}$Y($alpha$,$alpha$)$^{89}$Y reaction have been measured at energies E$_{c.m.}$ = 15.51 and 18.63 MeV. The high precision data for the semi-magic $N = 50$ nucleus $^{89}$Y are used to derive a local potential and to evaluate the predictions of global and regional $alpha$-nucleus potentials. The variation of the elastic alpha scattering cross sections along the $N = 50$ isotonic chain is investigated by a study of the ratios of angular distributions for $^{89}$Y($alpha$,$alpha$)$^{89}$Y and $^{92}$Mo($alpha$,$alpha$)$^{92}$Mo at E$_{c.m.} approx$ 15.51 and 18.63 MeV. This ratio is a very sensitive probe at energies close to the Coulomb barrier, where scattering data alone is usually not enough to characterize the different potentials. Furthermore, $alpha$-cluster states in $^{93}$Nb = $^{89}$Y $otimes$ $alpha$ are investigated.

In this work, we present new data on the $^{89}$Y($gamma$,n) cross section studied with a quasi-monochromatic photon beam produced at the NewSUBARU synchrotron radiation facility in Japan contributing torwards resolving a long standing discrepancy be
tween existing measurements of this cross section. Results for $gamma$-ray strength function below threshold obtained by applying the Oslo method to $^{89}$Y($p,pgamma$)$^{89}$Y coincidences combined with the $^{89}$Y($gamma$,n) data this providing experimental data for the $gamma$-ray strength function of $^{89}$Y for $gamma$ energies in the range of $approx 1.6$ Mev to $approx$ 20 MeV. A low-energy enhancement is seen for $gamma$-rays below $approx 2.5$ MeV. Shell-model calculations indicate that this feature is caused by strong, low-energy $M1$ transitions at high excitation energies. The nuclear level density and $gamma$-ray strength function have been extracted from $^{89}$Y($d,p gamma$)$^{90}$Y coincidences using the Oslo method. Using the ($gamma,n$) and ($d,pgamma$) data as experimental constraints, we have calculated the $^{89}$Y($n,gamma$)$^{90}$Y cross section with the TALYS reaction code. Our results have been compared with directly measured (n,$gamma$) cross sections and evaluations. The $N=50$ isotope $^{89}$Y is an important bottleneck in the s-process and the magnitude of the $^{89}$Y(n,$gamma)$ cross section is key to understanding how s-process stars produce heavy isotopes.
The nuclear level density and the $gamma$-ray strength function have been extracted for $^{89}$Y, using the Oslo Method on $^{89}$Y($p,p gamma$)$^{89}$Y coincidence data. The $gamma$-ray strength function displays a low-energy enhancement consistent
with previous observations in this mass region ($^{93-98}$Mo). Shell-model calculations give support that the observed enhancement is due to strong, low-energy $M1$ transitions at high excitation energies. The data were further used as input for calculations of the $^{88}$Sr($p,gamma$)$^{89}$Y and $^{88}$Y($n,gamma$)$^{89}$Y cross sections with the TALYS reaction code. Comparison with cross-section data, where available, as well as with values from the BRUSLIB library, shows a satisfying agreement.
Background: alpha-nucleus potentials play an essential role for the calculation of alpha-induced reaction cross sections at low energies in the statistical model... Purpose: The present work studies the total reaction cross section sigma_reac of al
pha-induced reactions at low energies which can be determined from the elastic scattering angular distribution or from the sum over the cross sections of all open non-elastic channels. Method: Elastic and inelastic 64Zn(a,a)64Zn angular distributions were measured at two energies around the Coulomb barrier at 12.1 MeV and 16.1 MeV. Reaction cross sections of the (a,g), (a,n), and (a,p) reactions were measured at the same energies using the activation technique. The contributions of missing non-elastic channels were estimated from statistical model calculations. Results: The total reaction cross sections from elastic scattering and from the sum of the cross sections over all open non-elastic channels agree well within the uncertainties. This finding confirms the consistency of the experimental data. At the higher energy of 16.1 MeV, the predicted significant contribution of compound-inelastic scattering to the total reaction cross section is confirmed experimentally. As a by-product it is found that most recent global alpha-nucleus potentials are able to describe the reaction cross sections for 64Zn around the Coulomb barrier. Conclusions: Total reaction cross sections of alpha-induced reactions can be well determined from elastic scattering angular distributions. The present study proves experimentally that the total cross section from elastic scattering is identical to the sum of non-elastic reaction cross sections. Thus, the statistical model can reliably be used to distribute the total reaction cross section among the different open channels.
The $gamma$ process in supernova explosions is thought to explain the origin of proton-rich isotopes between Se and Hg, the so-called $p$ nuclei. The majority of the reaction rates for $gamma$ process reaction network studies has to be predicted in H
auser-Feshbach statistical model calculations using global optical potential parameterizations. While the nucleon+nucleus optical potential is fairly known, for the $alpha$+nucleus optical potential several different parameterizations exist and large deviations are found between the predictions calculated using different parameter sets. By the measurement of elastic $alpha$-scattering angular distributions at energies around the Coulomb barrier a comprehensive test for the different global $alpha$+nucleus optical potential parameter sets is provided. Between 20$^{circ}$ and 175$^{circ}$ complete elastic alpha scattering angular distributions were measured on the $^{113}$In textit{p} nucleus with high precision at E$_{c.m.}$ = 15.59 and 18.82 MeV. The elastic scattering cross sections of the $^{113}$In($alpha$,$alpha$)$^{113}$In reaction were measured for the first time at energies close to the astrophysically relevant energy region. The high precision experimental data were used to evaluate the predictions of the recent global and regional $alpha$+nucleus optical potentials. Parameters for a local $alpha$+nucleus optical potential were derived from the measured angular distributions. Predictions for the reaction cross sections of $^{113}$In($alpha,gamma$)$^{117}$Sb and $^{113}$In($alpha$,n)$^{116}$Sb at astrophysically relevant energies were given using the global and local optical potential parameterizations.
The flux of 7Be and 8B neutrinos from the Sun and the production of 7Li via primordial nucleosynthesis depend on the rate of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be reaction. In extension of a previous study showing cross section data at 127 - 167 keV center of mass
energy, the present work reports on a measurement of the 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be cross section at 106 keV performed at Italys Gran Sasso underground laboratory by the activation method. This energy is closer to the solar Gamow energy than ever reached before. The result is sigma = 0.567 +- 0.029(stat) +- 0.016(syst) nbarn. The data are compared with previous activation studies at high energy, and a recommended S(0) value for all 3He(alpha,gamma)7Be activation studies, including the present work, is given.
