Abstract

Progress in the understanding of key reactions of relevance to stellar evolution based on experiments using post-accelerated radioactive nuclear beams at the Cyclotron Research Centre in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium is summarised. First results of recent measurements aimed at exploiting such ion beams to find the trigger reactions for cataclysmic stellar events, i.e. novae and X-ray bursters, are reported. In addition, the production of the radioactive beams as well as the role of silicon strip detector technology for the feasibility of such experiments will be discussed.
