Overview Talk
Unlike powerful explosive scenarios such as supernovae and novae, quiescent stellar evolution is characterised by nuclear reactions at the lowest thermal energies, well below the Coulomb barrier of interacting nuclei. When trying to reproduce these processes in terrestrial laboratories, we are faced with tremendous experimental challenges that require the use of dedicated setups ideally in an...

Recently, we measured the e+e− angular correlation in internal pair creation for the M1 transition depopulating the 18.15 MeV 1+ state in 8Be, and observed a peak-like deviation from the predicted IPC [1]. To the best of our knowledge no nuclear physics related description of such deviation can be made. The deviation between the experimental and theoretical angular correlations is significant...
