Description

In the helium burning stage of stars there is a main sequence of reactions which is responsible for energy production and nucleosynthesis of the light elements 12C and 16O. Moreover some other reaction sequences may occur as for instance 14N(α,γ)18F(β)18O 18O(α,n)21Ne(α,n)24Mg and 18O(α,γ)22Ne(α,n)25Mg and 22Ne(α,γ)26Mg, 15N(α,γ)19F, 13C(α,n)16O. (orig.)
