dc.descriptionThe r-process involves neutron-rich nuclei far off stability for which no experimental cross sections are known. Therefore, one has to rely on theory which might be prone to considerable uncertainties far off stability. To investigate the impact of such uncertainties, nucleosynthesis in hot bubble models followed completely from high-temperature NSE to low-temperature neutron capture freeze-out were calculated with largely varied rates. Due to the (n,gamma)-(gamma,n) equilibrium established at the onset of the r-process, only late-time neutron captures are important which mainly modify the abundances around the third r-process peak.
