Description

Since the first observation of hindrance in heavy-ion fusion, many extrapolated cross sections for astrophysically interesting fusion reactions, such as 12C + 12C, 12C + 16O, 16O + 16O, 24O etc. need to be reexamined. In this contribution, the effects of fusion hindrance at extreme low energies are discussed.
