Abstract

Nuclear astrophysics recently celebrated its 100th anniversary and remains an active field of science. This article reviews several contemporary experimental techniques used to determine nuclear-reaction rates. Additionally, it presents some theoretical aspects directly related to these experimental techniques, providing an introduction to the fundamental principles underlying them. The 18F(p,α)15O reaction, which is associated with γ-ray emission from classical novae during the first hours after expansion, is used as a central theme throughout the article. Several examples of recent experiments are highlighted, particularly those conducted in nuclear facilities utilizing radioactive beams.

期刊介绍： Taking the format of four issues per year, the journal Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics aims to discuss new developments in the field at a level suitable for the general nuclear and particle physicist and, in greater technical depth, to explore the most important advances in these areas. Most of the articles will be in one of the fields of nuclear physics, hadron physics, heavy ion physics, particle physics, as well as astrophysics and cosmology. A particular effort is made to treat topics of an interface type for which both particle and nuclear physics are important. Related topics such as detector physics, accelerator physics or the application of nuclear physics in the medical and archaeological fields will also be treated from time to time.
