Scientific paper

Experimental reaction rates are the necessary nuclear physics input for quantitative studies of nucleosynthesis during the hydrostatic phases of stellar evolution as well as in explosive scenarios such as novae, X-ray burster, or supernovae. Such studies represent crucial tests of the respective astrophysical models, which themselves constitute the basis for our understanding of the history of the Universe. The status of the nuclear input data and the present experimental approaches are illustrated at the example of the slow neutron capture process (s process). Accelerator mass spectroscopy bears promising possibilities for measurements of crucial reaction rates in this field, which would be extremely difficult to determine otherwise.
