TALYS calculation and a short review of the experimental status of proton capture studies on p-nuclei: A guide to future investigation.

Abstract

TALYS calculations have been performed to obtain the theoretical proton capture cross-sections on the p-nuclei. A short review has been done on the status of the experimental studies of the same. Some basic properties like the Q-values, Coulomb barrier, Gamow peak, Gamow Window, decay properties of the parent and daughter nuclei have been compiled. The various experimental parameters namely, beam energy, beam current, targets, detectors etc. used in the various experimental investigations reported in the literature have been tabulated. TALYS calculations results in the Gamow region have been compared with the corresponding experimental values wherever available. This work is expected to facilitate the planning of the future experiments.
