Abstrakt

The neutron capture cross section of ²⁰⁶Pb has been measured at the CERN n\TOF spectrometer using a setup of two C₆D₆

detectors. In the energy interval from 1 eV to 600 keV the cross

section is dominated by resonances, which were analyzed via the R-matrix analysis code SAMMY. In the relevant energy ranges for stellar nucleosynthesis, i.e., at thermal energies of kT = 8 keV and kT = 23 keV, the present Maxwellian average cross section differs by 20% and 9% from the recommended values of Bao et al respectively. From the new cross section the s-abundance of ²⁰⁶Pb

could be reliably determined as 70(4)%. This result is of importance in

order to test and constrain r-process abundance calculations in the

actinide region, because the r-process portion of ²⁰⁶Pb is dominated by α-back decays of short-lived transbismuth isotopes.
