Scientific paper

Nuclear astrophysics has long been associated with small accelerators and the measurement of ever-decreasing cross sections as one approached (but rarely reached)the energy of reactions in stars. But studies at high energy accelerators can often yield the same information and, in some important cases, provide information not otherwise available. This is particularly so for studies of the properties and reactions of the short-lived radioactive nuclei that play a crucial role in explosive phenomena such as novae, supernovae, and neutron stars. This talk will review of some of the possibilities, but concentrate on two examples: measurements of the rates of radioactive capture reactions using Coulomb breakup reactions, and the relationship of hadronic charge exchange cross sections and weak-interaction strength for L = 1 transitions. Research supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
