Description

Book Synopsis
Describing the processes in stars which produce the chemical elements for planets and life, this book shows how similar processes may be reproduced in laboratories using exotic beams, and how these results can be analyzed. The associated reaction program Fresco is described, and is available at www.cambridge.org/9780521856355.

Trade Review
"The effort of the authors, both highly regarded experts in their respective fields, is certainly to be lauded and I am confident that the book will become essential reading for the experienced researchers in the field." Marialuisa Aliotta, The Observatory
