Abstract

Studies have shown that alpha-induced nuclear reactions in the hot CNO cycles and on the waiting points of the rp-process play a principal role in energy production and nucleosynthesis on the surface of mass-accreting white dwarfs and neutron stars. This paper will present recent measurements at Notre Dame on the rate of ¹⁵O(α,γ) and new experiments for (α,p) reactions on the waiting point nuclei of ¹⁴O and ²⁶Si. Preliminary results and astrophysical implications will be discussed.
