Abstract
We review in some detail, the so-called triple-α process and the reaction ^(12)C(α,γα,γ)^(16)O that follow core hydrogen burning and produce most of the universal abundances of ^(12)C and ^(16)O, including considerable new and previously unpublished work. We also review briefly, for reasons of length, some of the principal nuclear reactions involved in carbon burning, neon burning, oxygen burning, the reactions generally grouped under the title silicon burning, and the helium-induced reactions that produce neutrons to build the s-process nuclei.
