abstract = {Most of the elements heavier than iron are produced through
neutron capture reactions in the s- and r -process. The
overall path of the s-process is well understood and can be
accurately reproduced in network simulations. However, there
are still some neutron capture reactions of unstable nuclei
involved in the s-process, which were not yet measured due
to the difficulty in producing suitable targets. In those
cases, theoretical models have to be used to estimate the
missing cross section. One example is the branching point
nucleus 86Rb, whose neutron capture cross section cannot be
directly measured due to its short half life of 18.86 days.
It is, however, also possible to measure its inverse, the
87Rb(g,n) reaction in order to obtain the 86Rb(n,g) cross
section through the principle of detailed balance. Natural
rubidium was irradiated with a quasi-monoenergetic photon
beam in the energy range between 10.7 MeV and 16 MeV in
order to investigate the photo-dissociation cross section of
87Rb. The results are presented in this thesis. Not only the
total cross section of 87Rb(g,n), but also the partial
production cross section of the ground and isomeric state of
84Rb through the 85Rb(g,n) reaction was measured. Not all
isotopes can be reached via neutron capture reaction, and
are therefore bypassed by the s- and r -process. These 35
proton-rich isotopes are called p-nuclei and are produced in
the γ-process by a chain of photo-disintegration reactions
in Type II supernovae. Network calculations of Type II
supernova show that the γ-process can explain the
production of most p-nuclei, but some – especially 92/94Mo
and 96/98Ru – are heavily underproduced. While this could
be the result of deficiencies in the corresponding stellar
models or insufficient knowledge of the involved reaction
rates, it is also possible that the missing p-nuclei are
synthesized in other production scenarios. An alternative
scenario for 92Mo is the production via a chain of proton
capture reactions in Type Ia supernovae. One important
reaction in this chain is the 90Zr(p,g) reaction. The
reaction cross section was already measured several times,
but the results were inconclusive. In the present work, the
90 Zr(p,g) reaction was measured using the in-beam gamma-ray
spectroscopy technique and the discrepancies between the
data sets could be largely explained.},
