Nuclear Partition Functions at Temperatures Exceeding 1010 K
Abstract
Nuclear partition functions were calculated for a grid of temperatures from 1.2x1010 K to 2.75x1011 K (1<=kT<=24 MeV) within a Fermi-gas approach, including all nuclides from the proton-dripline to the neutron-dripline with proton number 9<=Z<=85. The calculation is based on a nuclear level density description published elsewhere, thus extending the previous tables of partition functions beyond 1010 K. Additional high temperature corrections had to be applied.
