The available data on nuclear fusion cross sections important to energy generation in the
Sun and other hydrogen-burning stars and to solar neutrino production are summarized and …

New experimental methods and techniques, combined with the development of new
theoretical tools, have opened new avenues to explore nuclear reactions of significance for …

Proposed mechanisms for the production of calcium in the first stars (population III stars)—
primordial stars that formed out of the matter of the Big Bang—are at odds with observations …

We present computations of nucleosynthesis in low-mass (LM) red giant branch (RGB) and
asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars of Population I experiencing extended mixing. We adopt …

In Pop III stellar models, convection-induced mixing between H-and He-rich burning layers
can induce a burst of nuclear energy and thereby substantially alter the subsequent …

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 …

First generation, or Population III, stars have a different evolution than those of later
generations owing to their initial primordial abundance composition. Most notably, the lack …

Abstract The 19 F (p, α 0) 16 O reaction at low energies plays an important role in
fundamental physics. In particular in nuclear astrophysics it represents, together with the 19 …

Fluorine is one of the most interesting elements in nuclear astrophysics. The F 19 (p, α) O 16
reaction is of astrophysical importance in addressing fluorine abundances in the universe …

Low-spin natural-parity states in Ne 20 at excitation energies larger than the proton
separation energy can be fruitfully explored by analyzing the behavior of the F 19 (p, α 0) O …
