Abstract
In this document the important role of 25Mg within nucleosynthesis processes is studied. In fact the initial conditions of s-process in massive and AGB stars depend on neutron-induced reactions on 25Mg, being this isotope involved both in neutron production and as a neutron poison. Because of the importance of 25Mg, very accurate and precise measurements of its capture cross section, at the n TOF CERN facility, and of its total cross section, at the EC-JRC-IRMM facility in Belgium, were performed. The aims of these measurements are both to weight the contribution of 25Mg as a neutron poison and to give constraints for the reaction rate of one of the main neutron sources for the s-process.
