In previous publications, we presented evidence for the importance of spin in determining capture and evaporation residue cross sections in the synthesis of heavy nuclei. We extend the previous calculations which dealt with nuclei where ZCN is less t
han 110 to the region of ZCN = 111-118. We deduce a new systematics of the fusion probability for these reactions
Neutrinos produced during a supernova explosion induce reactions on abundant nuclei in the outer stellar shells and contribute in this way to the synthesis of the elements in the Universe. This neutrino nucleosynthesis process has been identified as
an important contributor to the origin of $^7$Li, $^{11}$B,$^{19}$F, $^{138}$La, and $^{180}$Ta, but also to the long-lived radionuclides $^{22}$Na and $^{26}$Al, which are both key isotopes for $gamma$-ray astronomy. The manuscript summarizes the recent progress achieved in simulations of neutrino nucleosynthesis.
The mergers of binary neutron stars, as well as black hole-neutron star systems, are expected to produce an electromagnetic counterpart that can be analyzed to infer the element synthesis that occurred in these events. We investigate one source of un
certainties pertinent to lanthanide-rich outflows: the nuclear inputs to rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesis calculations. We begin by examining thirty-two different combinations of nuclear inputs: eight mass models, two types of spontaneous fission rates, and two types of fission daughter product distributions. We find that such nuclear physics uncertainties typically generate at least one order of magnitude uncertainty in key quantities such as the nuclear heating (one and a half orders of magnitude at one day post-merger), the bolometric luminosity (one order of magnitude at five days post-merger), and the inferred mass of material from the bolometric luminosity (factor of eight when considering the eight to ten days region). Since particular nuclear processes are critical for determining the electromagnetic signal, we provide tables of key nuclei undergoing $beta$-decay, $alpha$-decay, and spontaneous fission important for heating at different times, identifying decays that are common among the many nuclear input combinations.
We review some of the uncertainties in calculating nucleosynthetic yields, focusing on the explosion mechanism. Current yield calculations tend to either use a piston, energy injection, or enhancement of neutrino opacities to drive an explosion. We s
how that the energy injection, or more accurately, an entropy injection mechanism is best-suited to mimic our current understanding of the convection-enhanced supernova engine. The enhanced neutrino-opacity technique is in qualitative disagreement with simulations of core-collapse supernovae and will likely produce errors in the yields. But piston-driven explosions are the most discrepant. Piston-driven explosion severely underestimate the amount of fallback, leading to order-of-magnitude errors in the yields of heavy elements. To obtain yields accurate to the factor of a few level, we must use entropy or energy injection and this has become the NuGrid collaboration approach.
A high-resolution study of the electromagnetic response of $^{206}$Pb below the neutron separation energy is performed using a ($vec{gamma}$,$gamma$) experiment at the HI$vec{gamma}$S facility. Nuclear resonance fluorescence with 100% linearly polari
zed photon beams is used to measure spins, parities, branching ratios, and decay widths of excited states in $^{206}$Pb from $4.9$ to $8.1$MeV. The extracted $Sigma$$B$(E1)$uparrow$ and $Sigma$$B$(M1)$uparrow$ values for the total electric and magnetic dipole strength below the neutron separation energy are 0.9$pm$0.2e$^2$fm$^2$ and 8.3$pm$2.0$mu_{N}^2$, respectively. These measurements are found to be in very good agreement with the predictions from an energy-density functional (EDF) plus quasiparticle phonon model (QPM). Such a detailed theoretical analysis allows to separate the pygmy dipole resonance from both the tail of the giant dipole resonance and multi-phonon excitations. Combined with earlier photonuclear experiments above the neutron separation energy, one extracts a value for the electric dipole polarizability of $^{206}$Pb of $alpha_{D}!=!122pm10$mb/MeV. When compared to predictions from both the EDF+QPM and accurately calibrated relativistic EDFs, one deduces a range for the neutron-skin thickness of $R_{rm skin}^{206}!=!0.12$-$0.19$fm and a corresponding range for the slope of the symmetry energy of $L!=!48$-$60$MeV. This newly obtained information is also used to estimate the Maxwellian-averaged radiative cross section $^{205}$Pb(n,$gamma$)$^{206}$Pb at 30keV to be $sigma!=!130!pm!25$mb. The astrophysical impact of this measurement--on both the s-process in stellar nucleosynthesis and on the equation of state of neutron-rich matter--is discussed.
