Stable beam experiments in wide energy ranges serving low energy nuclear astrophysics
In experimental nuclear astrophysics it is common knowledge that reaction cross sections must be measured in the astrophysically relevant, low energy ranges or at least as close to them as possible. In most of the cases, however, it is impossible to reach such low energies. The reactions must theref...

| Summary: | In experimental nuclear astrophysics it is common knowledge that reaction cross sections must be measured in the astrophysically relevant, low energy ranges or at least as close to them as possible. In most of the cases, however, it is impossible to reach such low energies. The reactions must therefore be studied at higher energies and the cross sections must be extrapolated to lower ones. In this paper the importance of cross section measurements in wide energy ranges are emphasized and a few examples are shown from the areas of hydrogen burning processes and heavy element nucleosynthesis. |
