Abstract
Thermohaline mixing has been recently identified as the probable dominating process that governs the photospheric composition of low-mass bright giant stars [Charbonnel and Zahn, A&A467, L15 (2007)]. Here we present the predictions of stellar models computed with the code STAREVOL including this mechanism together with rotational mixing. We compare our theoretical predictions with recent observations.
