The nuclear structure is described within a microscopic model (deformed QRPA) that reproduces not only the half-lives but also the Gamow-Teller strength distributions recently measured. The various sensitivities of the decay rates to both density and temperature are discussed. Continuum electron capture is shown to contribute significantly to the weak rates at rp-process conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-06T14:30:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "27.50.+e", "26.30.Ca", "21.60.Jz", "23.40.-s" ], "keywords": [ "weak interaction rates", "sr waiting-point nuclei", "rp-process conditions", "neutron deficient kr", "continuum electron capture" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 680, "number": 5, "pages": 438 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 833127, "adsabs": "2009PhLB..680..438S" } } }
