In this review, we discuss the present status of three indirect techniques that are used to
determine reaction rates for stellar burning processes, asymptotic normalization coefficients …

The asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) is a fundamental nuclear characteristic of
bound states and resonances. The ANC plays an important role in low-energy elastic …

Numerical values of charged-particle thermonuclear reaction rates for nuclei in the A= 14 to
40 region are tabulated. The results are obtained using a method, based on Monte Carlo …

The Ne 20 (p, γ) 21 Na reaction is the slowest in the NeNa cycle and directly affects the
abundances of the Ne and Na isotopes in a variety of astrophysical sites. Here we report the …

The quest to comprehend how nuclear processes influence astrophysical phenomena is
driving experimental and theoretical research programs worldwide. One of the main goals in …

Fusion reactions relevant for astrophysics proceed via compound–nucleus formation, with a
very large number of resonances involved, or by direct capture, with only few or no …

Radiative capture of nucleons at energies of astrophysical interest is one of the most
important processes for nucleosynthesis. The nucleon capture can occur either by a …

To a high degree many aspects of the large-scale behavior of objects in the Universe are
governed by the underlying nuclear physics. In fact the shell structure of nuclear physics is …

A modified two-body potential approach is proposed for determination of both the asymptotic
normalization coefficient (ANC)(or the respective nuclear vertex constant (NVC)) for the A+ …

The theoretical uncertainties of single proton transfer cross sections of the (3 He, d) and (d, 3
He) reactions, owing to the uncertainties of the entrance-and exit-channel optical model …
