abstract = {Neutron capture cross sections are one of the fundamental nuclear data in
the study of the s (slow) process of nucleosynthesis. More interestingly, the competition
between the capture and the decay rates in some unstable nuclei determines the local
isotopic abundance pattern. Since decay rates are often sensible to temperature and
electron density, the study of the nuclear properties of these nuclei can provide valuable
constraints to the physical magnitudes of the nucleosynthesis stellar environment. Here
we report on the capture cross section measurement of two thallium isotopes, 204Tl
and 205Tl performed by the time-of-flight technique at the n TOF facility at CERN.
At some particular stellar s-process environments, the decay of both nuclei is strongly
enhanced, and determines decisively the abundance of two s-only isotopes of lead,
204Pb and 205Pb. The latter, as a long-lived radioactive nucleus, has potential use
as a chronometer of the last s-process events that contributed to final solar isotopic
abundances.},
