Abstract
The nucleosynthesis path of the γ-process is predominantly governed by the branching points at which the flow of the initial (γ,n) is redirected by either (γ,p) or (γ,α) reactions. In this work, the inverse reactions, proton and α capture on 108Cd were studied in order to aid in verification of the 112Sn isotope as a potential branching point in the γ-process. The results of the first measurement with a γ-summing detector, HECTOR, are compared with previous measurements found in the literature and with NON-SMOKER predictions. The results of this work will provide input for Hauser-Feshbach calculations to obtain the γ induced reaction rates.
