Abstract
The nucleosynthesis of heavy proton-rich nuclei in a stellar photon bath at temperatures of the astrophysical $γ$-process was investigated where the photon bath was simulated by the superposition of bremsstrahlung spectra with different endpoint energies. The method was applied to derive ($γ$,n) cross sections and reaction rates for several platinum isotopes.
