Résumé : Recent experimental data for the 187Re(γ ,n) 186Re reaction are reviewed, and the contribution of the (8 +) isomer in 186Re is discussed. Statistical model calculations are used to derive the 186Re(n,γ)187Re capture cross section from the photodisintegration data, and σMACS = 1070±370mb is obtained at κT = 30 keV. The s-process branching at 186Re remains small. © Copyright owned by the author(s).
