The determination of the astrophysical S-factor of the direct 18O(p,\(\gamma\))19F capture by the ANC method
The depletion of 18O via the \((\mathrm{p},\gamma)\)(p,γ) capture competes with the \((\mathrm{p}, \alpha)\)(p,α) capture during the CNO cycles in AGB stars. Despite the fact that the \((\mathrm{p}, \alpha)\)(p,α) capt...

Publisher Correction: An increase in the 12C + 12C fusion rate from resonances at astrophysical energies
In equation (1) of this Letter, the closing bracket was missing; in Extended Data Fig. 1 and the accompanying legend, ‘Φ(pd)’ should have been ‘Φ2(pd)’, and in the Methods the text “Odd J assignments are uncertai...

An increase in the 12C + 12C fusion rate from resonances at astrophysical energies
Carbon burning powers scenarios that influence the fate of stars, such as the late evolutionary stages of massive stars1 (exceeding eight solar masses) and superbursts from accreting neutron stars2,3. It proceeds...

Trojan Horse measurement of the 18F(p, \(\alpha\) )15O astrophysical S(E)-factor
Crucial information on novae nucleosynthesis is linked to the abundance of 18F , which, due to great improvements in gamma-ray astronomy, can be detected in explosive environments. Therefore, the reaction network...

Breakup of loosely bound nuclei as indirect method in nuclear astrophysics: 8B, 9C, 23Al
We discuss the use of one-nucleon breakup reactions of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics. These are peripheral processes, therefore we can extract asym...

Indirect measurement of the 15N(p,α)12C reaction cross section through the Trojan-Horse Method
The low-energy, bare-nucleus cross section for 15N(p,α)12C is extracted by means of the Trojan-Horse Method applied to the 2H(15N,α12C)n reaction at E beam = 60MeV. The astrophysical S-fac...

Indirect techniques in nuclear astrophysics
Owing to the presence of the Coulomb barrier at astrophysically relevant kinetic energies it is very difficult, or sometimes impossible, to measure astrophysical reaction rates in the laboratory. That is why d...
