Abstract
Neutron-capture reactions on neutron-rich nuclei are important to understand r-process nucleosynthesis, as well as applied needs such
as stewardship science and nuclear energy. Because of the short half-lives of these species, it is not possible to measure these reactions
directly with neutron beams on unstable targets. The (d,p gamma) reaction with radioactive ion beams has been proposed as a surrogate reaction
for (n,gamma). Experiments to develop (d,p gamma) techniques with radioactive ion beams and to demonstrate the efficacy of the (d,p gamma) reaction
as a surrogate for (n,gamma) are discussed.
