We thoroughly investigate electron capture (EC) ratios for a wide range of atomic numbers. The study utilizes a comprehensive computational method that considers important atomic effects such as electron screening, overlap and exchange corrections, shake-up and shake-off processes. The electron wave functions are computed with the Dirac-Hartree-Fock-Slater (DHFS) method, which was chosen after...
Heavier p isotopes are believed to be produced through the γ-process. The path of γ-process can be modelled with network calculations. These calculations include about 20000 reactions on more than 2000, mostly unstable nuclei, many of these reactions involves alpha particles. Theoretical cross sections of reactions involving alpha particles are found to be very sensitive to the alpha-nucleus...
