Abstract
The cross section and astrophysical S-factors for the
^102Pd(p,γ)^103Ag reaction have been measured in the proton energy
range 2.6 to 5.5 MeV using the 9 MV tandem Van de Graaff accelerator at
the University of Notre Dame. The results have been compared to those of
statistical model calculations generated by the NON-SMOKER code. Since
low cross sections are involved, an activation technique has been used,
whereby gamma rays have been detected off-line by two HPGe detectors in
a low bacground environment. These measurements are of primary interest
because they judge the applicability of the NON-SMOKER code calculations
to the γ- and rp-process reaction rates in explosive environments,
where currently almost no experimental data exist in the mass region
beyond A=100.
