- Title
Shell Model Applications in Nuclear Astrophysics †.
- Authors
Martínez-Pinedo, Gabriel; Langanke, Karlheinz
- Abstract
In recent years, shell model studies have significantly contributed in improving the nuclear input, required in simulations of the dynamics of astrophysical objects and their associated nucleosynthesis. This review highlights a few examples such as electron capture rates and neutrino-nucleus cross sections, important for the evolution and nucleosynthesis of supernovae. For simulations of rapid neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis, shell model studies have contributed to an improved understanding of half lives of neutron-rich nuclei with magic neutron numbers and of the nuclear level densities and γ -strength functions that are both relevant for neutron capture rates.
