Cross sections for proton-induced reactions on Pd isotopes at energies relevant for the gamma process

Abstract: Proton-activation reactions on natural and enriched palladium samples wereinvestigated via the activation technique in the energy range of E_p=2.75 MeVto 9 MeV, close to the upper end of the respective Gamow window of the gammaprocess. We have determined cross sections for 102Pd(p,gamma)103Ag,104Pd(p,gamma)105Ag, and 105Pd(p,n)105Ag, as w..
