Half of the elements heavier than iron are believed to be produced through the rapid neutron-capture process ($$r$$-process). The astrophysical environment(s) where the $$r$$-process occurs remains an open question, even after recent observations of neutron-star mergers and the associated kilonova. Features in the abundance pattern of $$r$$-process ashes may provide critical insight for distinguishing contributions from different possible sites, including neutron-star mergers and core-collapse supernovae. In particular, the largely unknown neutron-capture reaction rates on neutron-rich unstable nuclei near ¹³²Sn could have a significant impact on the final $$r$$-process abundances. To better determine these neutron-capture rates, the ($d,p$) reaction has been measured in inverse kinematics using radioactive ion beams of ¹²⁶Sn and ¹²⁸Sn and a stable beam of ¹²⁴Sn interacting with a (CD₂)$$_n$$ target. An array of position-sensitive silicon strip detectors, including the Super Oak Ridge Rutgers University Barrel Array, was used to detect light reaction products. In addition to the present measurements, previous measurements of ^130,132Sn($d,p$) were reanalyzed using state-of-the-art reaction theory to extract a consistent set of spectroscopic factors for ($d,p$) reactions on even tin nuclei between the heaviest stable isotope ¹²⁴Sn and doubly magic ¹³²Sn. The spectroscopic information was used to calculate direct-semidirect ($n,γ$) cross sections, which will serve as important input for r-process abundance calculations.
