Description
The p-process nucleosynthesis can explain proton-rich isotopes that are heavier than iron, which are observed in the Solar System, but discrepancies still persist (e.g. for the Mo and Ru p-isotopes).
We investigate both the systematic and statistical uncertainties associated with theoretical nuclear reaction rates of relevance during the p-process and explore their impact on the p-process elemental production in exploding rotating massive stars and in type Ia supernovae.
We discuss the effect of nuclear uncertainties on the p-process production and especially their impact on the Mo and Ru p-isotopes production.
