Radiative neutron capture reactions play an important role in nuclear astrophysics, but it is often the case that the reaction rates need to be known for interactions on unstable nuclei. Since these reactions are often impossible to measure directly, neutron transfer reactions have been used as a surrogate approach. We have investigated the reliability of this approach by comparing measurements on stable nuclei. Learn more
