Abstract

Maxwellian-averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates were calculated for neutron capture, fission, (n,p), (n, α), and some threshold reactions based on a microscopic neutron cross section data library, the Japanese Evaluated Nuclear Data Library Version 3.3 (JENDL-3.3). The calculation was made for temperatures (kT) from 1 keV to 1 MeV including the most important range in astrophysical nucleosynthesis. Results are presented in the tables and graphs. The Maxwellian-averaged neutron capture cross sections are compared with recommendations of other authors. Implications of the differences between the present data and previous ones to s-process nucleosynthesis are discussed.
