This work presents the first cross section measurements of the ⁷⁶Se(α,γ)⁸⁰Kr reaction. The rate of the time reversed reaction, ⁸⁰Kr(γ,α)⁷⁶Se, is one of the most uncertain of possible reactions which can occur at the ⁸⁰Kr branching point on the γ-process photo-disintegration pathway. The success of these first (α,γ) cross section measurements performed in inverse kinematics in the energy region of the γ-process opens the door for future studies of reactions on radioactive γ-process nuclides.
