  Astrophysical neutron capture rates of light and heavy nuclei have been
measured and calculated. For the measurements the activation technique was
applied at the 3.75 MV Karlsruhe Van de Graaff accelerator, and at the Geel
electron linear accelerator (GELINA) the time-of-flight (TOF) method was used.
The calculations were performed using direct and compound nuclear capture
models.
