At RCNP Osaka, Japan, and iThemba LABS, South Africa, new facilities allowing for inelastic proton scattering at energies of a few hundred MeV per nucleon under extreme forward angles including zero degree have been developed. Some highlights of the physics addressed with these systems are presented. For example, they facilitate the measurement of the complete E1 strength from low excitation...

Over the last decade several measurements in light- and medium-mass nuclei have reported an enhanced ability for the absorption and emission of gamma radiation (photon strength function PSF) at low energies. The impact of this effect may have profound implications on neutron capture reaction rates which are not only responsible for the formation of elements heavier than iron in stellar and...

A number of naturally present nuclei from 74Se to 196Hg lie far from the stellar s- and r-process' trajectories and their abundances can not be explained by nucleosynthesis in neutron capture reactions. These nuclei are known as p-nuclei and photonuclear reactions are believed to be one of the channels of their production [1]. Existing calculation models can not accurately describe p-nuclei...
