For an accurate description of the p-process nucleosynthesis a large reaction
database involving several hundreds to thousands of reaction rates is necessary. Unfortunately, there is a considerably lack of experimental data on the relevant cross sections in the p-process energy range, due to the fact that most γ-induced reactions are very difficult to measure directly [1]. To overcome this difficulty, the charged particle induced reaction cross sections are measured and their inverse photodisintegration reaction cross section are calculated. Alpha particle induced reactions play a significant role in the study of nuclear structure, nuclear reactions and astrophysics. Reaction rate estimates within the framework of the Hauser-Feshbach statistical model must be further tested in order to validate the existing alpha-nucleus optical model potentials, especially at low energies, far bellow the Coulomb barrier. Experimental data for these reactions in the astrophysical relevant energy range, near the Gamow window, have been measured for different p-nuclei.
The cross sections were measured by means of the activation method using an alpha beam delivered by the Bucharest IFIN-HH Tandem 9MV accelerator. The induced activities were measured in close-to-detection geometry using two large volume HPGe detectors in a low background passive shielding. The experimental results were compared with theoretical predictions obtained in the framework of the statistical model. Extended experimental cross sectiondata on p-nuclei give a higherreliability in using global optical model potential parametrization [2].
