The determination of the thermonuclear reaction rates is a challenging task of nuclear astrophysics. In order to investigate this and other nuclear processes in the stellar medium, new techniques and new advanced setups for nuclear physics experiments are of vital importance. In this Thesis an advanced γ-ray spectroscopy system has been used in an experiment of astrophysical interest, that is a new Doppler shift attenuation measurement of the lifetime of the 6.79MeV state in 15O. An accurate measurement of this quantity is of paramount importance in the determination of the astrophysical S-factor and the derived cross section for the 14N(p, γ)15O reaction, the slowest one in the CNO cycle. The results of a new direct measurement of this ...
