Abstract

The ongoing goal of the TRIUMF astrophysics group is to measure resonance strengths and cross sections for reactions of astrophysical importance. This is done using accelerated radioactive and stable beams from ISAC I and II delivered to the DRAGON and TUDA facilities. The wide range of available beams at the energies provided by the ISAC I and II accelerators enable us to measure reaction rates of interest in many different astrophysical environments. Experiments in the past year have studied reactions important for understanding the production of solar neutrinos as well as nucleosynthesis in the Big Bang, Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars, novae, and supernovae. These experiments and the various techniques required for these measurements will be discussed.
