KADoNiS- The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars

Abstract

The “Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars” (KADoNiS) project is an online database for experimental cross sections relevant to the s process and p process. It is available under http://nuclear‐astrophysics.fzk.de/kadonis and consists of two parts. Part 1 is an updated sequel to the previous Bao et al. compilations from 1987 and 2000 for (n,γ) cross sections relevant to the big bang and s‐process nucleosynthesis. The second part will be an experimental p‐process database, which is expected to be launched in winter 2005/06. The KADoNiS project started in April 2005, and a first partial update is online since August 2005. In this paper we present a short overview of the first update of the s‐process database, as well as an overview of the status of stellar (n,γ) cross sections of all 32 p isotopes.
