Individual (n,γ) rates become important in freeze out from the weak r-process near Z=26-34 and N=50. Sensitivity studies[1] have indicated a handful of specific isotopes' (n,γ) rates exhibit notable impacts on final r-process abundance patterns. 80Ge has an enhanced sensitivity and an experiment was designed to utilize FRIB. The 80Ge(d,p) reaction was measured at FRIB using GODDESS and the S800 at 45MeV/u. This measurement aims to constrain spectroscopic factors for bound states including low-lying ½+-5/2+ doublet, in combination with a previous measurement[2] at ~4MeV/u, from which DSD neutron capture cross sections will be determined. Additionally, the experiment will inform the compound nucleus (n,γ) cross sections via the Surrogate Reaction Method. Preliminary results will be discussed.
