Decay properties of 22Ne + α resonances and their impact on s-process nucleosynthesis

The astrophysical s-process is one of the two main processes forming elements heavier than iron. A key outstanding uncertainty surrounding s-process nucleosynthesis is the neutron flux generated by the Ne22(α,n)25Mg reaction during the He-core and C-shell burning phases of massive stars. This reacti...
