Abstract

Neutron capture cross sections for zirconium isotopes have important implications in the field of nuclear astrophysics. In particular they play a key role in ascertaining the neutron density in the He burning zone of the Red Giant stars. Neutron capture cross sections of ^{90,91,92,93,94,96}Zr have been measured over the energy range from 1 eV to 1 MeV at the spallation neutron facility n-TOF at CERN. Based on these data, capture resonance strengths and Maxwellian-averaged cross sections were determined with much improved accuracy.
