Abstract
The evolution of a star depends to a large extent on the reaction rates between its nuclear constituents. A large fraction of these involves unstable nuclei produced in the environment of high temperature and density. Radioactive beams make it possible to study such reactions in the laboratory where traditional methods fail. A brief review of some of the experiments that are underway at the present and proposed for the near future is given to illustrate some of the possibilities.
