Late times, freeze-out stage, (n,) captures on
some “seed” nuclei can be decisive in defining
the final isotopic abundance pattern
Case with 130Sn

Path nucleus 130Cd is highly populated
Significant amount of material is collected in 130Sn
Flow of material along Z=50 is sensitive to DC(n,) on 130Sn

Summary & Outlook
Precise location of the astrophysically relevant
shell-model states in 131Sn
Population of select members in 131Sn ~5.0
MeV yrast band via direct single-neutron transfer
Measured -p -h -ray cross transition
yields 68 1 keVstat. for 1h11/2 orbital in 131Sn
Further evidence supporting the robustness of
the 132Sn doubly-magic core
Updated DC(n,) calculations and R-process
simulations
Nuclear shell structure theory to interpret our
new data (core excitations, fragmentation & level
density, EM properties & lifetimes...)
