Experimental Study of Stellar Reactions at CNS

After a brief review on low‐energy RI beam production technology, nuclear astrophysics programs at CNS are presented including a scope of the field in the Wako campus. The CRIB project involves a total development of the whole facility to maximize the low‐energy RI beam intensities, including the ion source, the AVF cyclotron and the low‐energy RI beam separator CRIB, Some recent nuclear astrophysics experiments performed with the RI beams were discussed, including the measurement of the 14O(α,p)17F reaction, the key stellar reaction for the onset of the high‐temperature rp‐process. The first experiment performed with a newly installed high‐resolution magnetic spectrograph PA of CNS was also presented. Collaboration possibilities for nuclear astrophysics in the RIKEN campus are also touched.
