KADoNiS-: The astrophysical -process database
The KADoNiS- project is an online database for cross sections relevant to
the -process. All existing experimental data was collected and reviewed.
With this contribution a user-friendly database using the KADoNiS (Karlsruhe
Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) framework is launched,
including all available experimental data from (p,), (p,n),
(p,), (,), (,n) and (,p) reactions in
or close to the respective Gamow window with cut-off date of August 2012
(www.kadonis.org/pprocess).Comment: Proceedings Nuclear Data Conference 2013, published in Nuclear Data

-Process simulations with a modified reaction library
We have performed -process simulations with the most recent stellar
cross sections from the "Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of
Nucleosynthesis in Stars" project (version v0.2,
http://nuclear-astrophysics.fzk.de/kadonis). The simulations were carried out
with a parametrized supernova type II shock front model (`` process'')
of a 25 solar mass star and compared to recently published results. A decrease
in the normalized overproduction factor could be attributed to lower cross
sections of a significant fraction of seed nuclei located in the Bi and Pb
region around the =126 shell closure.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure Proceedings "Nuclear Physics in Astrophysics

New Stellar Cross Sections and The "Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars"
Since April 2005 a regularly updated stellar neutron cross section
compilation is available online at http://nuclear-astrophysics.fzk.de/kadonis.
This online-database is called the "Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of
Nucleosynthesis in Stars" project and is based on the previous Bao et al.
compilation from the year 2000. The present version \textsc{KADoNiS} v0.2
(January 2007) includes recommended cross sections for 280 isotopes between
H and Po and 75 semi-empirical estimates for isotopes without
experimental information. Concerning stellar cross sections of the
32 stable, proton-rich isotopes produced by the process experimental
information is only available for 20 isotopes, but 9 of them have rather large
uncertainties of 9%. The first part of a systematic study of stellar
cross sections of the -process isotopes Se, Sr,
Pd, Te, Ba, Ba, Dy, and Hf is
presented. In another application \textsc{KADoNiS} v0.2 was used for an
modification of a reaction library of Basel university. With this modified
library -process network calculations were carried out and compared to
previous results.Comment: Proceedings "International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and

Stellar (n,gamma) cross sections of p-process isotopes PartI: 102Pd, 120Te, 130,132Ba,and 156Dy
We have investigated the (n,gamma) cross sections of p-process isotopes with
the activation technique. The measurements were carried out at the Karlsruhe
Van de Graaff accelerator using the 7Li(p,n)7Be source for simulating a
Maxwellian neutron distribution of kT = 25 keV. Stellar cross section
measurements are reported for the light p-process isotopes 102Pd, 120Te,
130,132Ba, and 156Dy. In a following paper the cross sections of 168Yb, 180W,
184Os, 190Pt, and 196Hg will be discussed. The data are extrapolated to
p-process energies by including information from evaluated nuclear data
libraries. The results are compared to standard Hauser-Feshbach models
frequently used in astrophysics.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure
The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars Project - Status and Prospects
The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) project is an astrophysical online database for cross sections relevant for nucleosynthesis in the s process and the γ process. The s-process database (http://www.kadonis.org) was started in 2005 and is presently facing its 4th update (KADoNiS v1.0). The γ-process database (KADoNiS-p, http://www.kadonis.org/pprocess) was recently revised and re-launched in March 2013. Both databases are compilations for experimental cross sections with relevance to heavy ion nucleosynthesis. For the s process recommended Maxwellian averaged cross sections for kT=5-100 keV are given for more than 360 isotopes between 1H and 210Bi. For the γ-process database all available experimental data from (p, γ), (p, n), (p, α), (α, γ), (α, n), and (α, p) reactions between 70Ge and 209Bi in or close to the respective Gamow window were collected and can be compared to theoretical predictions. The aim of both databases is a quick and user-friendly access to the available data in the astrophysically relevant energy regions. © 2014 Elsevier Inc.Peer reviewe
