Description

The heavier p-isotopes can be produced through the $\gamma$-process, which involves a complicated reaction network. In this nucleosynthesis process ($\gamma$,$\alpha$) reactions play a key role. To calculate such a reaction network, many input parameters are essential. One of these is the $\alpha$-nucleus optical model potential (AOMP), which describes the interaction between the $\alpha$ particle and the nucleus. This potential can be studied with ($\alpha$,n) reactions at low energies. At the HUN-REN Atomki several ($\alpha$,n) experiments [1] were carried out in the last few years. In this short talk, the details of the recently published [2] Te($\alpha$,n) experiments will be presented.
Further details of the Atomki-V2 AOMP will be given in the talk of P. Mohr.
