Abstract :
Studies have shown that alpha-induced nuclear reactions in the hot CNO cycles and on the waiting points of the rp-process play a principal role in energy production and nucleosynthesis on the surface of mass-accreting white dwarfs and neutron stars. This paper will present recent measurements at Notre Dame on the rate of 15O(α,γ) and new experiments for (α,p) reactions on the waiting point nuclei of 14O and 26Si. Preliminary results and astrophysical implications will be discussed.
