  1. The role of (some) nuclear reaction rates in the evolution of the stars of low, intermediate and high mass Alessandro Chieffi (Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica Cosmica & INAF) Email: achieffi@rm.iasf.cnr.it

  3. REMEMBER that: The interplay between the evolution of a star and the nuclear processes occurs through the RATES and NOT the cross sections: Rlk => Xl x Xk x screening x <sv>lk

  4. 25 MO Dt(H-burn)= - 0.3% M(He) => 8.3 to 8.6 MO CNO cycle <sv>3a x 10 is NOT appreciable 14N(p,g)15O x 10 5 MO CNO cycle M(He) => 0.91 to 0.97 MO Dt(H-burn)= - 4% 1 MO PP chain p(p,e+n)d Dt(H-burn)= - 3%
