Özet

Background: The ratio between the rates of the reactions O-17(alpha,n)Ne-20 and O-17(alpha,gamma)Ne-21 determines whether O-16 is an efficient neutron poison for the s process in massive stars, or if most of the neutrons captured by O-16(n,gamma) are recycled into the stellar environment. This ratio is of particular relevance to constrain the s process yields of fast rotating massive stars at low metallicity.
