[Mesa-users] Question about scaling carbon rates

[Jeremy Sakstein]

Hi everyone,

I would like to scale the C12_C12 reactions i.e., the carbon burning
processes but can't seem to find the correct rate.

I tried r_c12_c12 and didn't get the notification in the terminal output.
Same thing with rc12c12.

It occurred to me that I may have to scale each rate individually so I
looked through rates/private/rates_names.f90 (I'm using version 15140) and
found two of the reactions so now I have:

    num_special_rate_factors=2
    reaction_for_special_factor(1)='r_c12_c12_to_h1_na23'
    special_rate_factor(1)=1d-10
    reaction_for_special_factor(2)='r_c12_c12_to_he4_ne20'
    special_rate_factor(2)=1d-10

in my inlist but this still does not give the message saying that a special
rate is being used.

Is someone able to tell me the correct rates to scale to turn off C
burning?

Cheers,

Jeremy
