Abstract:The neutron capture reaction on a neutron-rich near closed-shell nucleus82Ge may play an important role in the r-process following the fallout from nuclear statistical equilibrium in core-collapse supernovae. By carrying out a DWBA analysis for the experimental angular distribution of82Ge(d, p)83Ge reaction we obtain the single particle spectroscopic factors, S2,5/2and S0,1/2for the ground and first excited states of83Ge=82Ge⊙n, respectively. And then these spectroscopic factors are used to calculate the direct capture cross sections for the82Ge(n, γ)83Ge reaction at energies of astrophysical interest. The optical potential for neutron scattering on unstable nucleus82Ge is not known experimentally. We employed a real folding potential which was calculated by using the proper82Ge density distribution and an effective nucleon-nucleon force DDM3Y. The neutron capture reactions on neutron-rich closed-shell nuclei are expected to be dominated by the direct capture to bound states. We will show that the direct capture rates on these nuclei are sensitive to the structure of the low-lying states.
