Abstract:Recent observations of metal-poor Eu-enriched stars show large deviations in the abundance pattern of light elements with Z≤47 suggesting the existence of a second type of r-process, called weak r-process, which has occurred besides the more robust main r-process. It is believed that Ag and Pd, the heaviest among light r-process elements, may help reveal the nature of the weak r-process. We present a sensitivity studies to clarify the role of the β-delayed neutron emission probabilities (Pn values) in shaping … Show more
