Stellar neutron capture cross sections of the Gd isotopes

Abstract: The neutron capture cross sections of 152 Gd, 154 Gd, 155 Gd, 156 Gd, 157 Gd, and 158 Gd were measured in the energy range from 3 to 225 keV at the Karlsruhe 3.75 MV Van de Graaff accelerator. Neutrons were produced via the 7 Li(p,n)1Be reaction by bombarding metallic Li targets with a pulsed protori beam. Capture events were registered with the Karlsruhe 47r Barium Fluoride Detector, which was improved by replacing crystals with high a background and by introducing a pierced crystal at zero degrees w… Show more

“…As shown in figure 7, the present results for 156 Gd are in general agreement with those of Kononov et al [15] and Wisshak et al [16] and with the evaluated values in ENDF/B-Z-b2 [17] and JENDL-3.3 [18]. The present results for 158 Gd in figure 8 agree with those of Wisshak et al [16] and Bokhovko et al [19] and with the evaluated values in both ENDF/B-VII-b2 [17] and JENDL 3.3 [18]. However, the experimental values of Kononov et al [15] and Stupegia et al [20] are larger than any other values.…”

“…Comprehensive measurements were also performed at Karlsruhe for the long isotope chains of Cd (Wisshak et al, 2002), Sn (Wisshak et al, 1996), Te , and Ba (Voss et al, 1994) to provide detailed information for studying the full mass range of the main s-process component with well-defined MACS data. Reliable cross sections are also instrumental for defining the strength of the branchings in the reaction path, where the specific abundance patterns yield constraints for important parameters of the stellar plasma, i.e.…”

“…This branch has been studied using the solar-system abundance ratios of Gd isotopes (e.g. Wisshak et al (1995)). However, the physical conditions of the s process in an individual site (object) are not obtained from the analysis of solar-system abundances.…”

“…6, where the TOF spectra before subtraction of the background from isotopic impurities are shown tagether with this background. Here, these corrections are much smaller than for the gadoliniumisotopes [10], where up to 50% of the measured events had to be subtracted. In the 114 Sn and 115 Sn spectra, about 20% of the observed effect is due to isotopic impurities, whereas it is only 2% for 116 Sn, and even less for the other isotopes, which are not shown explicitely.…”
