Abstract
The nucleosynthesis of heavy proton-rich nuclei in a stellar photon bath at temperatures of the astrophysical gamma -process was investigated experime ntally. The thermal photon bath in supernova explosions was generated by th e superposition of bremsstrahlung spectra with different endpoint energies. Reaction rates for the destruction of several platinum isotopes by the (ga mma ,n) reaction were determined.
