Constraining the astrophysical origin of the p-nuclei through nuclear physics and meteoritic data

(Review) New original results are presented: new p-nucleus abundances with recent stellar models and up-to-date nuclear input; a galactic chemical evolution study; new constraints on production ratios from recent meteoritic data. A solution to a long-standing problem in determining alpha-induced reactions at low energies is presented for the first time. Also for the first time, theoretical considerations are presented which will help to select targets for experimental studies, and for future radioactive beam facilities. Suggestions for novel experiments are also given. This work, uniquely, sets the research agenda for p-nuclei for the next decade, theoretically and experimentally.
