Scientific paper

The rp-process was first suggested by Wallace and Woosley (1981) as the dominant nucleosynthesis process in explosive hydrogen burning at high temperature and density conditions. The process is characterized by a sequence of fast proton capture reactions and subsequent β-decays. The reaction path of the rp-process runs along the drip line up to Z~50. Within a sufficiently long time scale the associated nucleosynthesis produces N=Z even-even nuclei. Extended model calculations indicate a large production of in particular mass A=80 isotopes. The abundances are highly sensitive to the lifetimes and decay pattern of these nuclei. We present the implications of recent experimental results for the nucleosynthesis of mass 80 isotopes.
