摘要：The r-process is an important component of heavy element nucleosynthesis. We study the sensitivity of the r-process abundance pattern to neutron capture rates along the rare earth peak (A 150 to A 180). We determine the type of conditions which produce a rare earth peak consistent with the solar r-process data. We identify important neutron capture rates among the rare earth isotopes and show how these rates influence specific sections of the abundance pattern.
