A direct measurement of the 17O(α,γ)21Ne reaction in inverse kinematics and its impact on heavy element production

During the slow neutron capture process in massive stars, reactions on light elements can both produce and absorb neutrons thereby influencing the final heavy element abundances. At low metallicities, the high neutron capture rate of 16O can inhibit s-process nucleosynthesis unless the neutrons are...
