Abstract
We apply the continuum quasiparticle random phase approximation to calculate the direct neutron capture cross section relevant to the r-process nucleo-synthesis. The electric dipole strength function in an even-even n-rich nucleus is decomposed with respect to the channels of direct neutron decays. Using the detailed balance relation, the partial dipole strengths are converted to obtain the direct neutron-capture cross sections. Numerical examples are given for 142Sn.
