Scientific paper

The nuclear reactions between C12 and O16 are shown to be vitally important during explosive oxygen burning because they regulate the number of α particles produced per Si28 nucleus. Since it appears that explosive oxygen burning produces the observed abundances of the nuclei between Si28 and Ca42, the value of the C12 + O16 total reaction cross section will help determine the nature of the explosions that have produced the elements.
