The Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars Project - Status and Prospects

The KADoNiS (Karlsruhe Astrophysical Database of Nucleosynthesis in Stars) project is an astrophysical online database for cross sections relevant for nucleosynthesis in the $s$ process and the $\gamma$ process. The $s$-process database (www.kadonis.org) was started in 2005 and is presently facing its 4th update (KADoNiS v1.0). The $\gamma$-process database (KADoNiS-p, www.kadonis.org/pprocess) was recently revised and re-launched in March 2013. Both databases are compilations for experimental cross sections with relevance to heavy ion nucleosynthesis. For the $s$ process recommended Maxwellian averaged cross sections for $kT$= 5-100~keV are given for more than 360 isotopes between ${}^1$H and ${}^{210}$Bi. For the $\gamma$-process database all available experimental data from $(p,\gamma), (p,n), (p,\alpha), (\alpha,\gamma), (\alpha,n)$,and$(\alpha,p)$reactionsbetween$^{70}$Geand$^{209}$Bi in or close to the respective Gamow window were collected and can be compared to theoretical predictions. The aim of both databases is a quick and user-friendly access to the available data in the astrophysically relevant energy regions.
