Abstract
Nuclear reaction rates determine the abundances of isotopes in stellar burning processes. A multitude of reactions regulate the reaction flow pattern, which is described in terms of reaction network simulations. The reaction rates depend on laboratory experiments supplemented by nuclear reaction and structure theory. In this chapter we will discus the experimental approach as well as the theoretical tools for obtaining the stellar reaction rates.
