摘要
For the better understanding of the astrophysical gamma-process the experimental determination of low energy proton- and alpha-capture cross sections on heavy isotopes is required. The existing data for the Mo-92(p, gamma)Tc-93 reaction are contradictory and strong fluctuation of the cross section is observed which cannot be explained by the statistical model. In this paper a new determination of the Mo-92(p, gamma)Tc-93 and Mo-98(p, gamma)Tc-99m cross sections based on thick target yield measurements are presented and the results are compared with existing data and model calculations. Reaction rates of Mo-92(p, gamma)Tc-93 at temperatures relevant for the gamma-process are derived directly from the measured thick target yields. The obtained rates are a factor of 2 lower than the ones used in astrophysical network calculations. It is argued that in the case of fluctuating cross sections the thick target yield measurement can be more suited for a reliable reaction rate determination. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.
