The origin of elements heavier than iron in stellar nucleosynthesis can in large parts be explained by neutron capture reactions, namely the r- and s-process. In order to reproduce the observed isotopic abundances in nucleosynthesis simulations, an exact knowledge of the involved reaction rates at astrophysical energies is necessary.
The stable isotopes 69Ga and 71Ga play an important role in the weak s-process, but experimental data for these reactions are scarce.
The cross-section of neutron capture onto isotopically enriched 69Ga and 71Ga samples was measured at the n_TOF experiment’s EAR1 beamline at CERN, Geneva, using the time of flight technique to cover a neutron energy range of eV to several hundred keV.
We will present the current status of the analysis.
