Neutron capture nucleosynthesis in Red Giant stars has produced about half of the elemental abundances between Fe and Bi. Models for this scenario can be sensitively tested via characteristic isotope patterns. These are formed by branchings in the reaction path and reflect the physical conditions at the stellar site. The essential nuclear physics input for such studies are the neutron capture cross sections of the involved isotopes including those of the radioactive branch point nuclei. Measurements on this species are difficult due to the limited neutron fluxes available at traditional facilities. In this respect, spallation neutron sources offer a new and promising approach for a variety of experiments on hitherto inaccessible nuclei.
