Abstract
The nucleosynthesis of heavy neutron-deficient nuclei in a stellar photon bath at the temperatures relevant for the astrophysical process was investigated. In order to derive cross sections and reaction rates, the stellar photon bath was simulated by the superposition of several bremsstrahlung spectra with different end-point energies. As a first test for this method, the reaction rates of the platinum isotopes and were derived. The results are compared to other experimental data and theoretical calculations.
