${}^{16}$O(p,$\gamma$)${}^{17}$F Reaction and the C and O Isotopic Ratios in Red Giant Branch Stars

D. Robb, P. McGlynn, M. Aliotta +55

The ${}^{16}$O/${}^{17}$O isotopic ratio is a widely used tracer of nucleosynthesis and mixing processes in red giant stars. Its value depends on the rates of the proton-capture reacti…
