“…Even higher intensities can be achieved by larger laser systems of different kinds, for example, X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs) and the under-constructing extreme light infrastructure (ELI) of Europe. XFELs can be focused to reach peak intensities on the order of 10 20 W/cm 2 [12], and ELI is designed to reach peak intensities above 10 23 W/cm 2 [13,14]. The laser electric field corresponding to such an intensity is comparable to the Coulomb field from the bare nucleus at a distance of about 10 fm.…”

We calculate the effect of intense laser fields on nuclear alpha decay processes, using realistic and quantitative nuclear potentials. We show that alpha decay rates can indeed be modified by strong laser fields to some finite extent. We also predict that alpha decays with lower decay energies are relatively easier to be modified than those with higher decay energies, due to longer tunneling paths for the laser field to act on. Furthermore, we predict that modifications to angle-resolved penetrability are easier to achieve than modifications to angle-integrated penetrability.

“…A very brilliant gamma beam, produced via Compton backscattering of a laser beam on a relativistic electron beam, will be available at Extreme Light InfrastructureNuclear Physics (ELI-NP) [8]. The gamma beam is characterized by a narrow bandwidth (<0.5% bdw) and tunable energy of up to almost 20 MeV.…”

Abstract. The astrophysical p-process is an important way of nucleosynthesis to produce the stable and protonrich nuclei beyond Fe which can not be reached by the s-and r-processes. In the present study, the impact of nuclear ingredients, especially the nuclear potential, level density and strength function, to the astrophysical reaction rates of (p,γ), (α,γ), (γ,p), and (γ,α) reactions are systematically studied. The calculations are performed basad on the modern reaction code TALYS for about 3000 stable and proton-rich nuclei with 12≤Z≤110. In particular, both of the Wood-Saxon potential and the microscopic folding potential are taken into account. It is found that both the capture and photonuclear reaction rates are very sensitive to the nuclear potential, thus the better determination of nuclear potential would be important to reduce the uncertainties of reaction rates. Meanwhile, the Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility is being developed, which will provide the great opportunity to experimentally study the photonuclear reactions in p-process. Simulations of the experimental setup for the measurements of the photonuclear reactions 96 Ru(γ,p) and 96 Ru(γ,α) are performed. It is shown that the experiments of photonuclear reactions in p-process based on ELI-NP are quite promising.

Abstract. The astrophysical p-process is an important way of nucleosynthesis to produce the stable and proton-rich nuclei beyond Fe which can not be reached by the s-and r-processes. In the present study, the astrophysical reaction rates of (γ ,n), (γ ,p), and (γ ,α) reactions are computed within the modern reaction code TALYS for about 3000 stable and proton-rich nuclei with 12 < Z < 110. The nuclear structure ingredients involved in the calculation are determined from experimental data whenever available and, if not, from global microscopic nuclear models. In particular, both of the Wood-Saxon potential and the double folding potential with density dependent M3Y (DDM3Y) effective interaction are used for the calculations. It is found that the photonuclear reaction rates are very sensitive to the nuclear potential, and the better determination of nuclear potential would be important to reduce the uncertainties of reaction rates. Meanwhile, the Extreme Light Infrastructure-Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) facility is being developed, which will provide the great opportunity to experimentally study the photonuclear reactions in p-process. Simulations of the experimental setup for the measurements of the photonuclear reactions 96 Ru(γ ,p) and 96 Ru(γ ,α) are performed. It is shown that the experiments of photonuclear reactions in p-process based on ELI-NP are quite promising.
