摘要：Alpha-induced reactions play an important role in a variety of astrophysical environments. They
provide the neutron sources for the main s-process which takes place in highly convective AGB
stars and for the weak process during core Helium burning in massive stars. In addition, α-
induced reactions on 15O and 18Ne provide a break-out from the CNO cycle which is important
for the dynamics of explosive Hydrogen burning. Several of these scenarios are briefly
discussed to suggest the energy range at which these reactions have to be measured.
Experimental difficulties determinating reaction rates of α-capture reactions are discussed and as
an example recent results for the 24Mg(α,γ)28Si reaction are presented and an outlook of future
developments is given.
