Low-energy proton reactions of astrophysical interest in theA∼90–100 region

Abstract

Semimicroscopic optical potentials for low energy proton reactions in mass 90-100 region have been obtained by folding the density dependent M3Y interaction with relativistic mean field densities. Certain parameters in the potential have been deduced by comparing calculated results with the data for elastic scattering. Low energy proton reactions in this mass region have been studied in the formalism with success. Rates of important astrophysical reaction in the mass region have been calculated.
