Abstract

The 112Sn(α, γ)116Te reaction cross-section has been measured to test the applicability of statistical models, especially NON-SMOKER in the energy range of importance for the astrophysical p-process nucleosynthesis. The measurements were carried out at the Notre Dame FN Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator by means of the activation method. Enriched self-supporting foils were irradiated with alpha beams over the alpha bombarding energy range of 8MeV to 12MeV in 0.5MeV steps. The induced activity was measured with a pair of large volume Ge Clover detectors in close geometry to maximize the detection efficiency. The preliminary results are compared with recent statistical model predictions using the code NON-SMOKER.
