It provides new experimental or theoretical insights into neutron and proton capture reactions relevant to astrophysics, specifically for 8Li, 9Be, 10Be, 10B, and 16O.

## Key findings

- Reactions have significant implications for primordial nucleosynthesis.
- Results support models of element formation in early universe and supernovae.
- Enhanced understanding of reaction rates at astrophysical energies.

## Abstract

We have studied the neutron-capture reactions 8Li(n,gamma)9Li and its role in the primordial nucleosynthesis. The n + 8Li --> 9Li + gamma reaction has a significant astrophysical interest because it includes one of the variants of chain of primordial nucleosynthesis processes of the Universe and thermonuclear reactions in type II supernova.
