Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2011•APSThe neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in
nucleosynthesis studies. The s-process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier
isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus Zr 90 and through Zr 91, 92, 93, 94, but
only part of the flow extends to Zr 96 because of the branching point at Zr 95. Apart from their
effect on the s-process flow, the comparably small isotopic (n, γ) cross sections make Zr also
an interesting structural material for nuclear reactors. The Zr 94 (n, γ) cross section has been …

The neutron capture cross sections of the Zr isotopes play an important role in nucleosynthesis studies. The -process reaction flow between the Fe seed and the heavier isotopes passes through the neutron magic nucleus and through , but only part of the flow extends to because of the branching point at . Apart from their effect on the -process flow, the comparably small isotopic () cross sections make Zr also an interesting structural material for nuclear reactors. The () cross section has been measured with high resolution at the spallation neutron source n_TOF at CERN and resonance parameters are reported up to 60 keV neutron energy.
