Astrophysical Reaction Rates as a Challenge for Nuclear Reaction Theory
Abstract
The relevant energy ranges for stellar nuclear reactions are introduced. Low-energy compound and direct reactions are discussed. Stellar modifications of the cross sections are presented. Implications for experiments are outlined.

The path to improved reaction rates for astrophysics
Rauscher, T. (2011-05)This review focuses on nuclear reactions in astrophysics and, more specifically, on reactions with light ions (nucleons and alpha particles) proceeding via the strong interaction. It is intended to present the basic ... -
Neutron capture of Si-30
Beer, H.; Sedyshev, P.V.; Rochow, W.; Rauscher, T.; Mohr, P. (2002-10-21)At the Karlsruhe and Tubingen 3.75 MV Van de Graaff accelerators the cross section of the reaction Si-30(n,gamma)Si-31(2.62h) was measured by the activation technique via the beta spectrum of the Si-31-decay. Natural silicon ... -
Nucleosynthesis in massive stars with improved nuclear and stellar physics
Rauscher, T.; Heger, A.; Hoffman, R. D.; Woosley, S.E. (2002-09-01)We present the first calculations to follow the evolution of all stable nuclei and their radioactive progenitors in stellar models computed from the onset of central hydrogen burning through explosion as Type II supernovae. ...
