The In113 nucleus is such a case with several open questions regarding its origin at extreme stellar environments. In this paper, the experimental study of the cross sections of the radiative proton-capture reaction Cd112(p,γ)In113 is attempted for the first time at energies lying inside the Gamow window with an isotopically enriched Cd112 target. Two different techniques, the in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy and the activation method, have been applied. The latter method is required to account for the presence of a low-lying In113 isomer at 392 keV having a half-life of ≈100min. From the cross sections, the astrophysical S factors and the isomeric ratios have been additionally deduced. The experimental results are compared to detailed Hauser-Feshbach theoretical calculations using talys and discussed in terms of their significance to the optical model potential involved. © 2019 American Physical Society." }
