Recent Astrophysics Results from ORELA and Possible Future Experiments at ORELA and SNS

Abstract

I present some recent results from experiments at the Oak Ridge Electron Linear Accelerator (ORELA) and discuss their impact in nuclear astrophysics. I then describe some possible future nuclear astrophysics experiments at ORELA and at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) being built in Oak Ridge. The SNS and ORELA are complementary, world-class facilities and both will be needed for important future experiments in nuclear astrophysics.Comment: 10 pages, 1 figure, 1 table.
