Abstract

Producing and accelerating radioactive nuclei in the laboratory provides a unique tool for the study of nuclear reactions involving these isotopes in the energy regime of interest for astrophysics. We briefly review some recent developments with accelerated radioactive ion beams and their impact for astrophysics. © Copyright owned by the author(s).
