摘要：The CNO cycle is the main process for hydrogen burning in stars somewhat more massive than
the Sun. The reaction cross sections at Gamow energies are typically in the femto to pico-barn
range and are consequently very difficult to measure experimentally. The CNO reaction rates
are based on extrapolations of experimental data from higher energies. We are developing a
multi-channel R-matrix code (AZURE) to provide a new and more comprehensive tool for fitting
experimental data and making extrapolations to lower energies in all reaction and scattering
channels.
