Abstract

The statistical model is employed to investigate $(n,\ensuremath{\gamma})$ reactions in ultrastrong magnetic fields relevant for supernovae and neutron stars. The predominant mechanisms are argued to correspond to modifications of nuclear level densities and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-transition energies due to interactions of the field with magnetic moments of nuclei. The density of states reflects the nuclear structure and results in oscillations of reaction cross sections as a function of the field strength, while magnetic interaction energy enhances radiative neutron capture process.
