Radiative neutron capture cross sectionsfor unstable nuclei in nuclear engineering and nuclear astrophysics Direct measurements at CERN n-TOF, LANSCE-DANCE, Frankfurt-FRANZ and J-Parc ANNRI facilities can target some of unstable nuclei along the valley of b-stability if samples can be prepared. ---> s-process Indirect experimental method is called in for unstable nuclei along the valley of b-stability ---> s-process, neutron-rich region ---> r-process surrogate reaction technique ANY OTHER?

Comparison with the surrogate reaction technique Forssèn et al., PRC75, 055807 (2007) Zr isotopes 93Zr(n,g)94Zr 95Zr(n,g)96Zr 1. The surrogate reaction technique gives larger cross sections by a factor of ~ 3 than the gSF method. The surrogate reaction technique gives similar cross sections to those given by the gSF method provided that a choice is made of the Lorentian type of gSF.
