We study the formation and final structure of the rare-earth peak (A∼ 160) of the r-process
nucleosynthesis. Under high-entropy conditions (S> 100 k B), the rare-earth peak forms at …

We study the sensitivity of the r-process abundance pattern to neutron capture rates along
the rare earth region (A∼ 150 to A∼ 180). We introduce the concepts of large nuclear flow …

The astrophysical site or sites responsible for the r-process of nucleosynthesis still remains
an enigma. Since the rare earth region is formed in the latter stages of the r-process, it …

The basic building blocks of all minerals are the approximately 290 stable or long-lived
isotopes of 84 elements. Yet, when the universe began and nuclear reactions ceased after …

Particle-γ coincidence data can be used as a strong tool for studying low energy nuclear
structure. The STARS-LIBERACE array at the 88-Inch Cyclotron at Lawrence Berkeley …

Half of the elements heavier then iron are produced in the rapid neutron capture (r-) process.
The final abundances of the r-process are determined not only by masses and beta-decays …

Half of the elements heavier then [sic] iron are produced in the rapid neutron capture (r-)
process. The final abundances of the r-process are determined not only by masses and beta …
