Description
An indirect method alternative to the surrogate reaction technique has been devised to determine radiative neutron capture cross sections for unstable nuclei. This method called the γ-ray strength function (γSF) method when combined with Coulomb dissociation experiments at the RIKEN-RIBF offers versatile applications to s-process branching nuclei along the valley of β-stability. Further applications of the γSF method to neutron-rich and proton-rich nuclei far from stability are also foreseen. http://ribf.riken.jp/~seminar/
