Description

We have performed p-process simulations with an updated version of the Basel reaction library [1,2] including all (n,gamma) cross sections from the Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database in Stars project (v0.2) [3]. The simulations were carried out with a parametrized supernova type II shock front model (‘gamma -process’) of a 25 solar mass star and compared to recently published results of Rapp et al. [4]. A decrease in the normalized overproduction factor could be attributed to lower cross sections of a significant fraction of seed nuclei located in Bi and Pb regions around the N = 126 shell closure. The next step is the use of the JINA Reaclib [5] with inclusion of the most recent KADoNiS update (v0.3) and p-process reactions [3]. [1] I. Dillmann, T. Rauscher, M. Heil, F. Kaeppeler, W.
