abstract = {The triple-alpha process, whereby evolved stars create
carbon and oxygen, is believed to be fine-tuned to a high
degree. Such fine-tuning is suggested by the unusually
strong temperature dependence of the triple-alpha reaction
rate at stellar temperatures. This sensitivity is due to the
resonant character of the triple-alpha process, which
proceeds through the so-called “Hoyle state” of 12C with
spin-parity 0+. The question of fine-tuning can be studied
within the ab initio framework of nuclear lattice effective
field theory, which makes it possible to relate ad hoc
changes in the energy of the Hoyle state to changes in the
fundamental parameters of the nuclear Hamiltonian, which are
the light quark mass mq and the electromagnetic
fine-structure constant αem. Here, we update the effective
field theory calculation of the sensitivity of the
triple-alpha process to small changes in the fundamental
parameters. In particular, we consider recent high-precision
lattice QCD calculations of the nucleon axial coupling gA,
as well as new and more comprehensive results from stellar
simulations of the production of carbon and oxygen. While
the updated stellar simulations allow for much larger ad hoc
shifts in the Hoyle state energy than previously thought,
recent lattice QCD results for the nucleon S-wave singlet
and triplet scattering lengths now disfavor the “no
fine-tuning scenario” for the light quark mass mq.},
