The majority of the heavy proton-rich nuclei, the so-called p–nuclei, are believed to be produced during supernova explosions
in the outer layers of very massive stars [1] in the so-called p–process where photon-induced reactions play the dominant role.
The lack of experimental data in the relevant energy region
for these reactions, in particular (γ,α)
reactions, demands for direct and indirect measurements in order to
determine the α-nucleus potentials for p–nuclei. Therefore, we have measured the elastic scattering of
α particles on different p–nuclei at energies close to the
Coulomb barrier [2-4].
In this work we present the results of high precision elastic α
scattering experiments on the p-nucleus 106Cd and on the
semi-magic
nucleus 89Y performed at the cyclotron accelerator at ATOMKI,
Debrecen.
