Prospects for nuclear astrophysics with intense radioactive ion beams

An overview is made of the current and future nuclear data needs in nuclear astrophysics. Subjects discussed include: hydrogen burning reactions in various environments; big-bang nucleosynthesis (particularly with baryon-number inhomogeneities); heavy-element nucleosynthesis; and presupernova cores. A wish list is constructed of most desired unknown reaction rates in each of these areas. It is concluded that a facility for producing heavy-ion radioactive nuclear beams may provide a means to determine many of these reaction rates.
