Reaction rates in the Laboratory
Example I: 14N(p,)15O
• stable target can be measured directly:
• slowest reaction in the CNO cycle Controls duration of hydrogen burning Determines main sequence turnoff – glob. cluster ages
• but cross sections are extremely low: Measure as low an energy as possible – then extrapolate to Gamow window
