The potential of an astrophysical environment for making r-process elements has been typically characterized by the neutron-to-seed ratio. We consider the rare earth peak as a new and independent tool for understanding the astrophysical conditions favorable for the main r-process. In the context of a high entropy r-process we discuss rare earth peak formation. We use features of a successful...

Single-particle resonant states embedded in the continuum for $^{131,133}$Sn, in the vicinity of the neutron capture threshold for $^{130,132}$Sn(n,$\gamma$), are calculated by the analytical continuation of the coupling constant (ACCC) approach within the relativistic mean field (RMF) theory framework. Our fully self-consistent RMF calculations using the NL3 effective interaction,
predict...

β decays of the isotones with N = 126 are studied by shell-model calculations taking into account both the Gamow-Teller (GT) and first-forbidden (FF) transitions [1]. Shell-model interaction of Ref. [2] is adopted and a quenching of g_A^{eff}/g_A =0.7 is used for both the GT and FF transitions except for 0^{-} case. The FF transitions [3] are found to be important to reduce the beta-decay...
