The 18F(p,α)15O reaction: A textbook case in nuclear astrophysics

Résumé

Nuclear astrophysics recently celebrated its 100$^{th}$ anniversary and remains an active field of science. This article reviews several contemporary experimental techniques used to determine nuclear-reaction rates. Additionally, it presents some theoretical aspects directly related to these experimental techniques, providing an introduction to the fundamental principles underlying them. The $^{18}$F($p,\alpha$)$^{15}$O reaction, which is associated with $\gamma$-ray emission from classical novae during the first hours after expansion, is used as a central theme throughout the article. Several examples of recent experiments are highlighted, particularly those conducted in nuclear facilities utilizing radioactive beams.
