Title: Nuclear Astrophysics Measurements with the TwinSol Separator

Abstract: The nucleosynthesis occurring in astrophysical explosions can be very different than that which occurs in main sequence stars such as our sun. In fact, many of the properties of explosive astrophysical events are determined by the nuclear physics of the radioactive nuclei that power the explosion. At the University of Notre Dame TwinSol radioactive beam separator, exotic nuclei of astrophysical interest are being produced and studied in order to further our understanding of astrophysical explosions. In fact, TwinSol was the first such device in the United States dedicated to radioactive beam production. Recent studies of astrophysical interest using the device will be presented along with plans for upcoming measurements with a particular focus on studies with radioactive 17F beams.
