Introduction
The s-process and Mg stable isotopes
“Main component”22Ne(,n)25Mg is a neutron source in AGB stars: 1Msun < M < 3Msun
– kT=8 keV and kT=25 keV
![Page 5: Results on 24,25,26 Mg(n, g ) and proposals Lisboa, 13-15 December 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062408/56813c33550346895da5b1c1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Introduction
The s-process and Mg stable isotopes
“Main component”22Ne(,n)25Mg is a neutron source in AGB stars: 1Msun < M < 3Msun
– kT=8 keV and kT=25 keV
“Weak component”22Ne(,n)25Mg is the main neutron source in massive stars: M > 10 – 12Msun
– kT=25 keV and kT=90 keV
Other important reactions:22Ne(,)26Mg, 25Mg(n,)26Mg, 26Al (n,p)26Mg

Motivations1. (24),25,26Mg are the most important neutron poisons due to neutron
capture on Mg stable isotopes in competition with neutron capture on 56Fe that is the basic s-process seed for the production of heavy isotopes.
2. Several attempts to determine the rate for the reaction 22Ne(,n)25Mg either through direct 22Ne(,n)25Mg measurement or indirectly, via 26Mg(,n)25Mg or charged particle transfer reactions. In both cases the cross-section is very small in the energy range of interest.
1. The main uncertainty of the reaction rate comes from the poorly known property of the states in 26Mg. Information can come from neutron measurements (knowledge of J for the 26Mg states).
3. The production of 26Al in the cosmos the main production mechanism is affected by uncertainties of several cross sections, in particular 24Mg(n,)
