Abstract

Semimicroscopic optical potentials for low-energy proton reactions in the mass 90–100 region have been obtained by folding the density-dependent M3Y interaction with relativistic mean field densities. Certain parameters in the potential have been deduced by comparing calculated results with the data for elastic scattering. Low-energy proton reactions in this mass region have been studied in the formalism with success. Rates of important astrophysical reactions in the mass region have been calculated.
