Astrophysical reaction rates of α-induced reactions for nuclei with 26≤Z≤83 from the new Atomki-V2 α-nucleus potential

Abstract The new Atomki-V2 α -nucleus potential is applied to calculate astrophysical reaction rates N A 〈 σ v 〉 of intermediate mass and heavy target nuclei from iron ( Z = 26 ) up to bismuth ( Z = 83 ). Overall, reaction rates of α -induced reactions are provided for 4359 target nuclei, covering as well neutron-deficient as extremely neutron-rich target nuclei from the proton to the neutron dripline. Contrary to previous rate compilations, these new calculations include all relevant exit channels with the dominating ( α , xn) reactions for neutron-rich target nuclei.
