Context: We present stellar yields computed from detailed models of intermediate mass asymptotic giant branch stars of low metallicity. In this work; all the main microphysics inputs have been updated; and in particular α-enhancement is explicitly taken into account in both the opacities and equation of state.Aims: The target of this work is to provide a basis for testing the reliability of the AGB self-enrichment scenario for globular clusters of intermediate metallicity. These globular clusters exhibit well-defined abundance patterns; which have often been interpreted as the consequence of the pollution of the interstellar medium by the ejecta of massive AGBs. Methods: We calculated a grid of intermediate-mass models with metallicity; the evolutionary sequences are followed from the pre-main sequence throughout the whole AGB phase. We focus our attention on those elements widely studied in the spectroscopic investigations of globular clusters stars; i.e; oxygen; sodium; aluminium; magnesium; and fluorine. Results: The predictions of our models show an encouraging agreement with the demand of the self-enrichment scenario for what concerns the abundances of oxygen; fluorine; and magnesium. The question of sodium is more tricky; due to the large uncertainties of the cross-sections of the Ne-Na cycle. The present results show that only a relatively narrow range of initial masses ( ) can be responsible for the self enrichment.. © 2008 ESO;
