Where available, we have normalized the neutron capture rates of
RATH to agree with the measured
maxwellian averaged capture cross sections
from
Bao et al. 2000 (herefter MACS_x) at 30 keV.
We calculate an estimate of the neutron capture cross section
at 30 keV (hereafter MACS_c) from the neutron
capture rate given by our reaction rate fits using formula #41
of OAP-422 (Woosley, Fowler, Holmes & Zimmerman 1975,
"Tables of Thermonuclear Reaction Rate Data for
Intermediate Mass Nuclei", Calif. Institute of Technology,
Kellogg Radiation Laboratory Preprint No. 422):
MACS_c = 6.90e-6*SQRT(an)*(0.48*rp3 + 0.52*rp4) (mb)
where a = mass number of the target, an = a/(a+1.), and
rp3 and rp4 are the (n,g) reaction rate evaluated at
T9=0.3 and T9=0.4 respectively.
We provide a table which lists for a given target nucleus
(Z,A) the calculated capture cross section (MACS_c), the
experimental maxwellian averaged cross section (MACS_x),
and its quoted error (MACS_err). For those cases where
MACS_c is outside MACS_x +- MACS_err, the difference
between the calculated and experimental MACS is given
in mb.
NO account is taken for the stellar enhancement factor (SEF),
although our RATH (n,g) rates include this.
For the calculated MACS that were outside the errors
of the experimental MACS, we provide the stellar
enhancement factor (SEF) from the Bao et al. 2000 paper.
Multiplication of the MACS_x by SEF gives the calculated MACS_c
to within a small error (less than the quoted error of the MACS_x).
