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 chemical evolution of the Universe is governed by the chemical yields from stars, which
in turn are determined primarily by the initial stellar mass. Even stars as low as 0.9 M⊙ can …

The Trojan Horse Method represents an indirect approach to investigate reactions of
astrophysical relevance at the energies of interest, free of Coulomb suppression and …

Studies of charged-particle reactions for low-energy nuclear astrophysics require high
sensitivity, which can be achieved by means of detection setups with high efficiency and low …

The cross sections of the 2 H (d, p) 3 H and 2 H (d, n) 3 He reactions have been measured
via the Trojan Horse method applied to the quasi-free 2 H (3 He, p 3 H) 1 H and 2 H (3 He, n …

The O 17 (p, α) N 14 reaction plays a key role in various astrophysical scenarios, from
asymptotic giant branch stars to classical novae. It affects the synthesis of rare isotopes such …

Nuclear reaction rates are among the most important input for understanding primordial
nucleosynthesis and, therefore, for a quantitative description of the early universe. An up-to …

ABSTRACT The 19 F (p, α) 16 O reaction is an important fluorine destruction channel in the
proton-rich outer layers of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and it might also play a role …

The study of energy production and nucleosynthesis in stars requires an increasingly
precise knowledge of the nuclear reaction rates at the energies of interest. To overcome the …

The thermonuclear 19F (p, α0) 16O reaction rate in the temperature region 0.007–10 GK has
been derived by re-evaluating the available experimental data, together with the low-energy …
