Scientific paper

Experimental studies of nuclear cross sections over the past several decades have done much to elucidate the processes of nucleosynthesis and energy generation in a variety of astrophysical sites. Recent studies have begun to focus on reactions which have not previously been studied either because they were experimentally difficult, or because they had been overlooked as being important a proposed study of the (26)Al(sup m)(p, gamma) (27)Si reaction as an example of an experiment which will soon be feasible. It will then present results of some new theoretical work on primordial nucleosynthesis which pinpoints some of the critical reactions for which no cross section measurements were made. These primarily involve (8)Li, a key nucleus in one model of primordial nucleosynthesis. Finally, instrumentation needed for future measurements in nuclear astrophysics will be discussed.
