21 Physics of 7 Be The astrophysical S factor for the 7 Be(p,  ) 8 B reaction at solar energies is a crucial nuclear physics input for the “solar neutrino problem”. It was proposed that the S factor can be indirectly determined through the asymptotic normalization constant (ANC) extracted from the proton pickup reactions of 7 Be, with an accuracy comparable to that from direct radiative capture or Coulomb Dissociation reaction.

23 Physics of 11 C Proton- and  -capture reactions on proton-rich unstable nuclei of A≤13 involved in the hot pp chains are thought to be another alternative way to the 3  process for transforming material from the pp chains to the CNO nuclei in the peculiar astrophysical sites where the temperature and density are high enough so that the capture reaction becomes faster than the competing β decay These linking reactions between the nuclei in the pp chains and the CNO nuclei might be of immense importance for the evolution of massive stars with very low metallicities. One of the key reactions in the hot pp chains is the 11 C(p,  ) 12 N which is believed to play an important role in the evolution of Pop Ⅲ stars.

36 Summary GIRAFFE, a tandem based one stage unstable beam facility proved to be effective to produce secondary beams suitable for the study of nuclear astrophysics reactions. Angular distribution measurements of transfer reaction in inverse kinematics, together with DWBA/ANC theoretical approach have been used to study the astrophysical reactions indirectly. The astrophysical S-factors and/or reaction rates for 7 Be(p,  ) 8 B, 11 C(p,  ) 12 N, 8 Li(n,  ) 9 Li were deduced by using the measurements of 7 Be(d,n) 8 B, 11 C(d,n) 12 N, and 8 Li(d,p) 9 Li reactions at the energies of astrophysical interest.
