One- and two-neutron capture reactions of light nuclei in nuclear astrophysics

Abstract

We discuss models to calculate one- and two-neutron capture reactions on light nuclei. These are applied to calculate the reaction rates of 15N(n,gamma)16N, 16N(n,gamma)17}N and 4He(2n,gamma)6He. The possible astrophysical importance is discussed.
