The
77
Se
(
n
,
γ
)
reaction is of importance for
77
Se
abundance during the slow neutron capture process in massive stars. We have performed a new measurement of the
77
Se
radiative neutron capture cross section at the Neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN. Resonance capture kernels were derived up to 51 keV and cross sections up to 200 keV. Maxwellian-averaged cross sections were calculated for stellar temperatures between
k
T
=
5
keV
and
k
T
=
100
keV
, with uncertainties between 4.2% and 5.7%. Our results lead to substantial decreases of 14% and 19% in
77
Se
abundances produced through the slow neutron capture process in selected stellar models of
15
M
⊙
and
2
M
⊙
, respectively, compared to using previous recommendation of the cross section.
