title = "Waiting Points in Nova and X-ray burst Nucleosynthesis",
abstract = "In nova and X-ray burst nucleosynthesis, waiting points are nuclei in the reaction path which delay the nuclear flow towards heavier nuclei, typically because of a weak proton capture reaction and a long β+ lifetime. Waiting points can influence the energy generation and final abundances synthesized in these explosions. We have constructed a systematic, quantitative set of criteria to identify rp-process waiting points, and use them to search for waiting points in post-processing simulations of novae and X-ray bursts. These criteria have been incorporated into the Computational Infrastructure for Nuclear Astrophysics, online at nucastrodata.org, to enable anyone to run customized searches for waiting points.",
