Scientific paper

The neutron capture cross section of 180Tam has been measured in the keV range, yielding a stellar average of 1465+/-100 mb at kT = 30 keV. Though the sample contained only 6.7 mg 180Tam (at an enrichment of 5.5%), the few capture events could be separated from much larger backgrounds by a unique combination of high efficiency, good energy resolution, and high granularity of the Karlsruhe 4π BaF2 detector. A detailed s-process analysis based on this first experimental value indicates that 180Tam is predominantly of s-process origin.
