TL;DR: The available data on nuclear fusion cross sections important to energy generation in the Sun and other hydrogen-burning stars and to solar neutrino production are summarized and critically evaluated in this article.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how similar processes in stars produce the chemical elements for planets and life, and how these results can be analyzed using exotic beams, using one-channel scattering theory.

TL;DR: Here, the single-particle character of the levels in 133Sn that lie outside the double shell closure present at the short-lived nucleus 132Sn are measured using an inverse kinematics technique that involves the transfer of a single nucleon to the nucleus.

TL;DR: Reaction products from the interaction of 6He with 209Bi have been measured at energies near the Coulomb barrier and a 4He group of remarkable intensity, which dominates the total reaction cross section, has been observed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the coupled discretized continuum channels approach to calculate the angular distribution of the fragments and their energy distributions compared with those measured at several laboratory angles, revealing the importance of higher-order continuum state couplings for understanding of the measurements.
