Abstract
The nucleosynthesis of heavy proton-rich nuclei in a stellar photon bath at temperatures of the astrophysical gamma-process was investigated where the photon bath was simulated by the superposition of bremsstrahlung spectra w ith different endpoint energies. The method was applied to derive (gamma,n) cross sections and reaction rates for several platinum isotopes. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
