Abstract
The cross-section measurement of 144Sm(p, γ)145Eu (T1/2 = 5.93(4) days) reaction has been performed at proton energies around 2.6–6.8 MeV using the activation technique. Molecular deposition technique was used to prepare the 144Sm targets having thickness between 100 and 350 μg cm−2 on Al backing. The astrophysical S-factor of this reaction has been measured for the first time at Epcm= 2.57 ± 0.13 MeV, S-factor = 2.542 ± 1.152(×1010) MeV-b. Cross-section data were compared with the previously measured experimental data (2.8–7.5 MeV) from literature and the theoretical predictions obtained using Hauser-Feshbach statistical model. Obtained results were utilised to predict the reaction rates for 144Sm (p, γ) and 145Eu (γ, p) reactions.
