Scientific paper

Pycnonuclear fusion processes take place at extreme density conditions of ρ>10^10 g/cm^3, anticipated for the core of white dwarfs or the crust of neutron stars. A formalism was developed for predicting pycnonuclear reaction rates for neutron rich nuclei in the carbon to magnesium range. The reaction rates have been used to simulate pycnonuclear burning in the deeper crust of an accreting neutron star. The pycnonuclear reaction rates will be presented and the results of the nucleosynthesis simulations will be discussed.
