The influence of reaction rates on the final p-abundances
W Rapp, M Wiescher, H Schatz, F Käppeler - Nuclear Physics A, 2005 - Elsevier
The astrophysical p-process is responsible for the origin of the proton rich nuclei, which are
heavier than iron. A huge network involving thousands of reaction rates is necessary to
calculate the final p-abundances. But not all rates included in the network have a strong
influence on the p-nuclei abundances. The p-process was investigated using a full nuclear
reaction network for a type II supernova explosion when the shock front passes through the
O/Ne layer. Calculations were done with a multi-layer model adopting the seed of a pre …
