Low energies never reached before (Ec.m. = 92 – 170 keV)
With both activation and in-beam methods (good agreement found)
With high precision (<5%)

The p-process nucleosynthesis
Secondary process initiated on s- and r-seeds Several sub-processes involved Most important: -process (-induced
reactions) Models are not able
to reproduce the
observed p-isotope
abundances

Data needs for the p-process
Astrophysics: stellar environment temperature density seed abundances time scale etc...
Nuclear physics masses decay properties reaction rates!!!
Reaction rates:• based on theory• very few experimental data• high uncertainty• experiments highly needed
