Description
Monochromatic Gamma-Beams are a new tool for nuclear physics. They allow us to study nuclei with unpresented accuracy. Specifically in Nuclear Astrophysics they allow us to make significant progress toward solving the five-decade problem of the formation of carbon and oxygen (the C/O ratio) in stellar helium burning. Aside from addressing the origin of life itself (the Anthropic Principle), the C/O ratio is the single most important nuclear input to Stellar Evolution.
