Abstract	The method for an experimental determination of the stellar enhancement factor for the cross section of the $^{151}$Sm$(n,\gamma)$ reaction process is proposed. This study offered the pretext for an excursus on the interconnections between capture and dissociation reactions and the interplay between theory and experiments in the determination of neutron capture cross sections.
