The astrophysical reaction rate of the charged-particleinduced reaction is dominated by the cross section within the Gamow window.The total cross section σ(E)of a chargedparticle-induced reaction is known to drops steeply with decreasing energy owing to the Coulomb barrier in the entrance channel:
Experimental data ofβ--decay half-lives of nuclei with atomic number between 20 and 190 are investigated.A systematic formula has been proposed to calculateβ^--decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei,with a particular consideration on shell and pair effects,the decay energy Q as well as the nucleon numbers(Z,N).Although the formula has relatively few parameters,it reproduces the experimentalβ^--decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei very well.The predicted half-lives for the r-process relevant nuclei obtained with the current formula serve as reliable input in the r-process model calculations.
Several elastic scattering angular distributions of ^(12)C from target nuclei of A ≥39 are analyzed to extract the Woods-Saxon potential parameters with the fixed imaginary potential and Coulomb radius parameters.Using the best fitted diffuseness parameters,the correlations of the real part parameters with A_1^(1/3)+ A_2^(1/3) and incident energy are revealed, and the systematic Woods-Saxon potential parameters are presented for nucleus-nucleus interaction.The proposed potential parameters can reproduce not only the elastic scattering angular distributions induced by ^(12)C,but also many elastic scattering angular distributions induced by the projectiles other than ^(12)C,thus providing important inputs for the study of nuclear reactions of heavy-ion systems.
