Abstract:The cross sections of the 162 Er(α,γ) 166 Yb and 162 Er(α,n) 165 Yb reactions have been measured for the first time. The radiative alpha capture reaction cross section was measured from E c.m. = 16.09 down to E c.m. = 11.21 MeV, close to the astrophysically relevant region (which lies between 7.8 and 11.48 MeV at 3 GK stellar temperature). The 162 Er(α,n) 165 Yb reaction was studied above the reaction threshold between E c.m. = 12.19 and 16.09 MeV. The fact that the 162 Er(α,γ) 166 Yb cross sections were me… Show more
