In our r-process calculations we use different mass models, which are in general (macroscopic-) microscopic approaches. The development towards selfconsistent models is still in progress; hence we expect to obtain an increasingly realistic picture of the r-process. The mass formulae we use are the Finite Range Droplet Model (FRDM) [1], two versions based on the Extended Thomas-Fermi plus Strutinsky Integral approach (ETFSI-1, ETFSI-Q) [2], [3] and three models based on the HF and HFB methods (HFB/SkP, HFBCS-1, HFB-2) [4][5][6]. In our systematic parameter studies we mainly focus on the r-process behavior in the regions of the magic neutron shells ( N=50, 82, 126); i.e. the r-matter flow to build up the r-abundance peaks and the breakout from the magic-shell waiting-point nuclides. From these studies we deduce the astrophysical parameters (temperature, neutron density, process duration) required to reproduce the global solar-system r-abundance pattern.
