Abstract The$$^{90}$$ Zr(p,$$\gamma $$ )$$^{91}$$ Nb reaction is one of the important reactions in the$$A\approx 90$$ mass region and part of the nucleosynthesis path responsible for production of$$^{92}$$ Mo during the$$\gamma $$ -process. Discrepant data in the literature provide a cross section that varies up to 30% within the Gamow window for the$$^{90}$$ Zr(p,$$\gamma $$ )$$^{91}$$ Nb reaction. Thus, the cross section measurements of$$^{90}$$ Zr(p,$$\gamma $$ )$$^{91}$$ Nb reaction were revisited using the$$\gamma $$ -summing technique. The results are consistent with the lower-value cross sections found in the literature. Based on the new data an updated reaction rate for$$^{90}$$ Zr(p,$$\gamma $$ )$$^{91}$$ Nb is provided that is up to 20% higher than that obtained from thenon-smokercode.more » « less
