Abstract

Giant Branch stars are the site of several recirculating and mixing processes. Some of these processes can be traced using the rare, stable 17,18O isotopes. At present, the abundance of 17,18O in Giant Branch stars is affected by their destruction rate through the 17,18O(p,α) 14,15N nuclear reactions. A direct measurement of these two nuclear reactions has been carried out at the underground LUNA accelerator in Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, Italy. Final results obtained for the 17O(p,α) 14N reaction, and preliminary results on the 18O(p,α) 15N reaction are reported.
