Abstract

New computations of He shell nucleosynthesis occurring during both radiative and convective phases are presented for stars in the range 8 - 25 M_sun;, taking in account the recent changes proposed for many cross sections. While the internal zones, swept by the radiative shell, are shown to efficiently produce elements up to A = 70 - 80 only in the most massive stellar models, the intermediate convective regions can be an important source for elements like 12C, 18O, 22Ne and Mg isotopes.
