Description
The neutron-capture reaction $^{84}$Kr(n,$\gamma$)$^{85}$Kr plays an important role in the astrophysical s-process, where $^{85}$Kr acts as a key branching-point nucleus influencing the production of isotopes in the mass region around Sr and Rb. Since direct measurements of this reaction are experimentally difficult, an indirect approach based on the Asymptotic Normalization Coefficient (ANC) method is proposed to constrain the direct neutron-capture at astrophysical energies. The feasibility study of the reaction $^{84}Kr(d,p)${85}Kr measurements will be presented through reaction kinematics and detector response simulations to identify the most favorable setup.
