Outlook By measuring the second 1+ state in 58Zn with a resolution of about 10 keV, one can improve by about 2 orders of magnitude the uncertainty on the stellar rate of 57 Cu(p, ) 58 Zn. The later reaction is one of the key rp-process waiting points, whose uncertainty affects most the study of x-ray bursts and light-curves, as it has been identified in the sensitivity study of Parik et al., Such measurement relies on sufficiently high beam intensities (GSI-FRS) and on the very high efficiency of the AGATA setup. Similar experiment has been attempted unsuccessfully at GAMASPHERE. There are other candidates, from the sensitivity-sutdy list from A.Parikh, which may be proposed as well.
