ISF 3.7

The reaction flow during a nova explosion on a rather massive O-Ne white dwarf.
Dashed lines indicate the classical shell closures. Also shown is the reach of the ISF for reaccelerated
low energy rare isotope beam intensities in excess of 108 s-1. At such beam intensities,
many direct reaction rate measurements become possible. Reactions on unstable nuclei that
have been identified as important for nova nucleosynthesis in sensitivity studies or other work
are marked in orange. Also marked are the nuclei that might serve as potentially observable γ-ray
emitters (lifetimes in brackets). An accurate prediction of the abundances of these isotopes is
particularly important to guide the search for γ-ray signatures in nova ejecta with γ-ray observatories.
