Eggleton et al. (2008) show that this inversion leads to compulsory mixing and changes to the 2.5 surface abundances of C, N, and O isotopic abundances, i.e., the 12 C/13 C ratio is lowered relative to its value before the bump. Charbonnel & Lagarde (2010) recognize too that mixing occurs as a result of the molecular weight inversion but include 2 the effects of rotationally induced mixing to drive the mixing. This mixing referred to as δµ-mixing by Eggleton et al. (2008) or thermohaline mixing by Charbonnel & Lagarde (2010) is observationally confirmed by measurements of the 12 C/13 C ratio 1.5 in giants along the RGB showing a decrease in the ratio at and above the luminosity of the bump. As p-captures on 12 C create 13 C, the reservoir of primordial and main-sequence synthesized 3 He is depleted.
