Description
It is an widely accepted and used idea that when we cannot make direct measurements for nuclear reactions that are important in nuclear astrophysics due to very small cross sections and/or for impossible/difficult projectile combinations, we resort to indirect methods. There many Indirect Methods in Nuclear astrophysics, some well known. I will discuss here two less known ones: fusion of light ions at sub_coulomb energies and the nuclear breakup of unstable projectiles at intermediate energies.
