Alpha Clustering and the stellar nucleosynthesis of carbon

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

The astrophysical S--factor and reaction rates for the triple--alpha process are calculated in the direct--capture model. It is shown that the stellar carbon production is extremely sensitive to small variations in the N--N interaction.
