Scientific paper

The uncertain origin of the proton rich Mo and Ru isotopes has motivated cross-section measurements of α- and neutron-induced reactions. The experiments were performed via the activation technique by irradiating thin layers of natural ruthenium with α-particle beams close to the Gamov window of the p process between 7.0 and 10.5 MeV. The cross sections of the reactions 96Ru(α,γ), 96Ru(α,n), 96Ru(α,p), and 98Ru(α,n) could be determined with uncertainties of typically 10%. On average, these results are about two to three times smaller than recent statistical model predictions. Additional activations in a quasistellar neutron spectrum corresponding to kT=25 keV allowed us to obtain the complementary stellar (n,γ) cross sections for 96Ru, 102Ru, and 104Ru. In these cases the agreement with model calculations is considerably better.
