The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars Project - Status and Prospects

The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) project is an astrophysical online database for cross sections relevant for nucleosynthesis in the s process and the gamma process. The s-process database (www.kadonis.org) was started in 2005 and is presently facing its 4th update (KADoNiS v1.0). The gamma-process database (KADoNiS-p, www.kadonis.org/pprocess) was recently revised and re-launched in March 2013. Both databases are compilations for experimental cross sections with relevance to heavy ion nucleosynthesis. For the s process recommended Maxwellian averaged cross sections for kT = 5-100 keV are given for more than 360 isotopes between H-1 and Bi-210. For the gamma-process database all available experimental data from (p, gamma), (p, n), (p, alpha), (a, gamma), (a, n), and (a, p) reactions between Ge-70 and Bi-209 in or close to the respective Gamow window were collected and can be compared to theoretical predictions. The aim of both databases is a quick and user-friendly access to the available data in the astrophysically relevant energy regions.
