The impact of individual nuclear properties on $r$-process nucleosynthesis
TL;DR: A review of recent sensitivity studies of the rapid neutron capture process can be found in this article, which summarizes the extent of such sensitivity studies and highlights how these studies play a key role in facilitating new insight into the r-process nucleosynthesis.

Compound-nuclear reaction cross sections from surrogate measurements
TL;DR: A review of the current status of the surrogate approach can be found in this paper, where experimental techniques employed and theoretical descriptions of the reaction mechanisms involved are presented and representative cross section measurements are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the angular momentum and parity distributions for the $(t,p)$ channel were improved by incorporating realistic angular momentum distribution and updating transmission-coefficient values used in the neutron capture and emission contributions that compete with the fission process.

Determining (n,f) cross sections for actinide nuclei indirectly: Examination of the surrogate ratio method
Jutta Escher,F. S. Dietrich +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the validity of the surrogate ratio method for determining (n, f) cross sections for actinide nuclei is examined, and a nuclear reaction model is developed to investigate whether the assumptions underlying the ratio approach are valid.
