SHADES — $^{22}$Ne($alpha$,n)$^{25}$Mg reaction rate in the Gamow window

arXiv:2510.06268v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Neutron capture reactions are the main contributors to the synthesis of the heavy elements through the s-process. Together with $^{13}$C($alpha$,n)16O, which has recently been measured by the LUNA collaboration in an energy region inside the Gamow peak, 22Ne({alpha},n)25Mg is the other main neutron source in stars. Its cross section is mostly unknown in the relevant stellar energy (450 keV
