The impact of n_TOF data on s-process modelling [PDF]
We show examples of the impact of the Maxwellian averaged capture cross sections determined at n_TOF over the past 20 years on AGB stellar nucleosynthesis models.

Analysis of the impact of the 204Tl neutron capture cross section on the s-process only isotope 204Pb [PDF]
In the study of the slow (s) process of nucleosynthesis branching nuclei become of particular interest. These nuclei have half-lives of the order of 1-100 years, and in the stellar environment their decay rate can compete with the neutron capture rate ...

The foundations of stellar nucleosynthesis have been established more than 70 years ago. Since then, much progress has been made, both on the theoretical side, with stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis models of increasing complexity, using more and ...

Impact of AGB Stars on the Chemical Evolution of Neutron-Capture Elements
In this review, we discuss the impact of s-process nucleosynthesis in asymptotic giant branch stars on the enrichment of heavy elements. We review the main steps made on this subject in the last 40 years and discuss the importance of modelling the ...

Underground measurement at LUNA found no evidence for a low-energy resonance in the 6Li(p, γ)7Be reaction [PDF]
The 6Li(p,γ)7Be reaction is involved in all three main nucleosynthesis scenarios: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the interaction of cosmic rays with interstellar matter, and stellar nucleosynthesis.

Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis
Here we address the phases of stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis which are more important in connection to chemical enrichment and galactic chemical evolution. In the following one should keep in mind that the stellar evolution results are influenced by the physics adopted in the models.

Among presolar grains, oxide ones are made of oxygen, aluminum, and a small fraction of magnesium, produced by the 26Al decay. The largest part of presolar oxide grains belong to the so-called group 1 and 2, which have been suggested to form in Red Giant

Convective–reactive nucleosynthesis of K, Sc, Cl and p-process isotopes in O–C shell mergers [PDF]
© 2017 The Author(s). Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Royal Astronomical Society. We address the deficiency of odd-Z elements P, Cl, K and Sc in Galactic chemical evolution models through an investigation of the nucleosynthesis of ...
