Define the Banach space $D(A^{\alpha})$ with the norm $\|x\|_{\alpha}=\|A^{\alpha}x\|$ for $x\in D(A^{\alpha})$, where $ D(A^{\alpha})$ denotes the domain of the fractional power operator $A^{\alpha}:H\to H$. Let $ H_{\alpha}:=D(A^{\alpha})$ and $ C_{\alpha}=C([-r,0],H_{\alpha}) $ be the space of all continuous functions from $ [-r,0] $ into $H_{\alpha} $. Define $K$ be an another separable Hilbert space. Suppose $w(t)$ is a given $K$-valued wiener process with a finite trace nuclear covariance operator $Q\geq 0 $. $F: J\times C_{\alpha}\to H_\alpha$, $G: J\times C_{\alpha}\to L_2^{0}(K,H)$ and $I_{k}:H\to H $, where $L_2^{0}(K,H)$ is the space of all $Q $-Hilbert-Schmidt operators from $K$ into $H$. The collection of all strongly measurable, square integrable, $C_{\alpha}$-valued random variables denoted by $L_2(\Omega, C_{\alpha})$. The histories $x_t:\Omega \to C_{\alpha}$, $t\in J$, which are defined by setting $ x_t(\theta)=x(t+\theta)$, $\theta \in [-r,0]$. $\Delta x(t) $ denotes the jump of $x$ at $t$, $\Delta x(t)=x(t^{+})-x(t^{-})=x(t^{+})-x(t)$. The concept of controllability is an important part of mathematical control theory. Generally speaking, controllability means that it is possible to steer a dynamical control system from an arbitrary initial state to an arbitrary final state using the set of admissible controls. Controllability problems for different kinds of dynamical systems have been studied by several authors, see \cite{Dauer, Liu, Li, Naito, Sakthivel, Shen-1}. Dauer and Mahmudov \cite{Dauer} established sufficient conditions for the controllability of stochastic semi-linear functional differential equations in Hilbert spaces under the assumption that the associated linear part of systems is approximately controllable. They obtained the results by using the Banach fixed point theorem and the fractional power theory. Sakthivel et al \cite{Sakthivel} considered the approximate controllability issue for nonlinear impulsive differential and neutral functional differential equations in Hilbert spaces. Finally, they applied their results to a control system governed by a heat equation with impulses. In \cite{Shen-1}, the authors studied the approximate controllability of stochastic impulsive functional system with infinite delay in abstract space. They obtained some sufficient conditions with no compactness requirement imposed on the semigroup generated by the linear part of the system by using the contraction mapping principle. Then they dropped the restriction of the combination of system parameters with the help of the Nussbaum fixed point theorem. The theory of integro-differential systems has recently become an important area of investigation, stimulated by their numerous applications to problems from electronics, fluid dynamics, biological models. In many cases, deterministic models often fluctuate due to noise, which is random or at least to be so. So, we have to move from deterministic problems to stochastic ones. Balachandran et al \cite{Balachandran} derived sufficient conditions for the controllability of stochastic integro-differential systems in finite dimensional spaces. Muthukumar and Balasubramaniam \cite{Muthukumar} investigated the appromimate controllability of mixed stochastic Volterra-Fredholm type integro-differential in Hilbert space by employing the Banach fixed point theorem. In recent years, the study of impulsive integro-differential systems has received increasing interest, since dynamical systems involving impulsive effects occur in numerous applications: the radiation of electromagnetic waves, population dynamics, biological systems, etc. Subalakshmi and Balachandran \cite{Subalakshmi} studied the approximate controllability properties of nonlinear stochastic impulsive integro-differential and neutral stochastic impulsive integro-differential equations in Hilbert spaces under the assumption that the associated linear part of system is approximately controllable. Moreover, Shen et al. \cite{Shen-2} obtained the complete controllability of impulsive stochastic integro-differential systems by using Schaefer's fixed point theorem. Recently, Mokkedem and Fu \cite{Mokkedem} studied the approximate controllability of the following semi-linear neutral integro-differential equations with finite delay \begin{gather} \frac{d}{dt}[x(t)+F(t,x_t)]= -Ax(t)+\int _0^{t}\gamma(t-s)x(s)\,ds+Bu(t) +G(t,x_t),\quad t\in J, \nonumber \\ x_0=\phi,\quad t\in [-r,0]. \label{e1.2} \end{gather} They assumed that the linear control system corresponding to system \eqref{e1.2} \begin{equation} \label{e1.3} \begin{gathered} \frac{d}{dt}x(t)= -Ax(t)+\int _0^{t}\gamma(t-s)x(s)\,ds+Bu(t), \quad t\in J, \\ x(t)=\phi(t), \quad t\in [-r,0], \end{gathered}\ \end{equation} is approximately controllable on $J$. With the help of the theory of analytic resolvent operator, the authors defined the mild solution of system \eqref{e1.2}, then they used the Sadovskii fixed point theorem and the fractional power operator theorem to prove the existence of solution. Then the authors obtained the approximate controllability of semi-linear neutral integro-differential systems with finite delay in Hilbert space. However, the authors did not consider the stochastic and impulsive effects. Very recently, Yan and Lu \cite{Yan} studied the approximate controllability of a class of impulsive partial stochastic functional integro-differential inclusions with infinite delay in Hilbert spaces of the form \begin{gather} d[x(t)-G(t,x_t)]\in A[x(t)+\int_0^{t}h(t-s)x(s)ds]dt+Bu(t)dt+F(t,x_t)dw(t), \nonumber \\ t\in J=[0,b],\; t\neq t_k,\; k=1,2,\dots, m, \nonumber\\ x_0=\varphi \in\mathcal{B}, \label{e1.4}\\ \Delta x(t_k)=I_k(x_{t_k}),\; k=1,2,\dots, m. \nonumber \end{gather} They achieved the approximate controllability result for \eqref{e1.4} by imposing compactness assumption on the resolvent operator $\Phi(t)$, they also assumed that the corresponding linear system of \eqref{e1.4} is approximately controllable. The aim of the present work is to study the approximate controllability for the system \eqref{e1.1} with the aid of the resolvent operator theory and the fractional power theory. The resolvent operator is similar to the semigroup operator for abstract differential equations in Banach spaces. However, the resolvent operator does not satisfy semigroup properties. In many practical models the nonlinear terms involve frequently spacial derivatives, in this case, we can not discuss the problem on the whole space $H$ because the history variables of the functions $F$ and $G$ are only defined on $C([-r,0];H_\alpha)$. In order to study the controllability for system \eqref{e1.1}, we first apply the theory of fractional power operator and $\alpha$-norm. We also suppose that $(-A, D(-A))$ generates a compact analytic semigroup on $H$ so that the resolvent operator $\Phi(t)$ is analytic. We point out here that we do not require that the resolvent operator be compact which differs greatly from that in \cite{Yan}. Then with the help of the Nussbaum fixed theorem, some sufficient conditions will be obtained. This article is organized as follows. In section 2, we give the preliminaries for the paper. In section 3, we consider the existence of mild solutions of system \eqref{e1.1} and provide the main result. In section 4, an example is given to illustrate the applications of the approximate controllability results. \section{Preliminaries} In this article, the operator $-A$ is the infinitesimal generator of a compact analytic semigroup $(S(t))_{t\geq0}$. $H_\alpha$ is the space $(D(A^\alpha), \|\cdot\|_\alpha)$, $H_\alpha \subset H$. For each $0< \alpha \leq 1$, $H_\alpha$ is a Banach space, $H_\alpha\to H_\beta$ for $0<\beta<\alpha \leq 1$ and the embedding is compact whenever the resolvent operator of $A$ is compact. $\pounds(H_\alpha;H_\beta)$ is the space of bounded linear operators from $H_\alpha$ into $H_\beta$ with norm $\|\cdot\|_{\alpha, \beta}$ and $H_0=H$. Let $(\Omega,\mathfrak F,P)$ be a probability space on which an increasing and right continuous family \{ $\mathfrak F_t:t\geq 0 $\} of complete sub-$\sigma$-algebras of $\mathfrak F $ is defined. The collection of all square integrable and $\mathfrak F_t$-adapted processes is denoted by $L_2^{\mathfrak F_t}(J,H)$. Let $\beta_n(t) (n=1, 2, \cdots)$ be a sequence of real valued one dimensional standard Brownian motions mutually independent over $(\Omega,\mathfrak F,P)$. We assume there exists a complete orthonormal basis $\{e_n\}$ in K and a bounded sequence of nonnegative real numbers $\lambda_n$ such that $w(t)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\sqrt{\lambda_n}\beta_n(t)e_n$, $t\geq 0$. Let $Q\in L(K,K)$ be an operator defined by $Qe_n=\lambda_ne_n, (n=1,2,3\ldots ) $ with finite trace $\operatorname{tr} Q=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\lambda_n<\infty$. Then the above $K$-valued stochastic process $w(t)$ is called a $Q$-Wiener process. We assume that $\mathfrak F_t=\sigma(w(s):0\leq s \leq t)$ is the $\sigma$-algebra generated by $w$ and $\mathfrak F_t=\mathfrak F$. Let $\Psi \in L_2^{0}(K,H)$ with the norm \[ \|\Psi\|_{Q}^2=tr(\Psi Q\Psi^{*})=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \|\sqrt{\lambda_n} \Psi e_n\|^2. \] If $\|\Psi\|_{Q}< \infty$, then $\Psi$ is called a $Q$-Hilbert-Schmidt operator. Define the space of all $\mathfrak{F_0}$-measurable $C_{\alpha}$-valued function $\psi: \Omega\to C_{\alpha}$ with the norm \[ \mathbb{E}\|\psi\|^2_{C_{\alpha}}=\mathbb{E}\{\sup _{\theta\in [-r,0]} \|A^{\alpha}\psi (\theta)\|^2\}< \infty. \] Let $L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F,P; H)$ be the space of all $\mathfrak F_t$-measurable square integrable random variables with value in $H$. We assume that: $PC(J_0,L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F,P; H))=\{x(t): J_0=[-r,T] \to L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F,P; H)$ is continuous everywhere except some $t_{k}$ at which $x(t_{k}^{+})$ and $x(t_{k}^{-})$ exist with $x(t_{k})=x(t_{k}^{-})$ satisfying $sup_{s\in J_0}E\|x(s)\|^2< \infty $\}. Let $PC(J_0,L_2)$ be the closed subspace of $PC(J_0,L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F,P; H))$ consisting of measurable and $\mathfrak F_t $-adapted processes and $ \mathfrak F_0$-adapted processes $y \in L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F_0,P; C_{\alpha})$. Let $\|\cdot\|_*$ be a seminorm in $PC(J_0,L_2)$ defined by $\|y\|_{*} = (\sup_{t \in J} \mathbb{E}\|y_t\|_{C_{\alpha}}^2)^{1/2}<\infty$. \begin{definition}[\cite{Ezzinbi}] \label{def2.1} \rm A family of bounded linear operators $\Phi(t)\in \pounds(H)$ for $t\in J$ is called resolvent operator for \begin{equation} \label{e2.1} \begin{gathered} \frac{d}{dt} x(t)= -Ax(t)+\int _0^{t}\gamma(t-s)x(s)\,ds ,\quad t\in J, \\ x(0)=x_0\in H, \end{gathered} \end{equation} if \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] $\Phi(0)=I$ and $\|\Phi(t)\|\leq N_1e^{\omega t}$ for some $N_1>0,\omega \in R$. \item[(ii)] For all $x\in H$, $\Phi(t)x$ is strongly continuous in $t$ on $J$. \item[(iii)] $\Phi(t) \in \pounds(Y)$, for $t\in J$, where $Y$ is the Banach space formed from $D(-A)$ endowed with the graph norm. Moreover for $x\in Y, \Phi(\cdot)x \in C^{1}(J;H)\cap C(J;Y) $ and, for $t\geq 0$, the following equality holds \[ \frac{d}{dt}\Phi(t)x=-A\Phi(t)x+ \int _0^{t}\gamma(t-s)\Phi(s)x\,ds =-\Phi(t)Ax+\int _0^{t}\Phi(t-s)\gamma(s)x\,ds. \] \end{itemize} \end{definition} The hypotheses on the operator $A$ and $\gamma(\cdot)$ follow from \cite[Hypotheses $(V_1)-(V_3)$]{Mokkedem}. Then, $\Phi(t)$ is also analytic and there exist $N, N_{\alpha}>0$ such that $\|\Phi(t)\|\leq N$ and \[ \|A^{\alpha}\Phi(t)\|\leq \frac{N_{\alpha}}{t^\alpha},00$ in the uniform operator topology of $\pounds(H)$. \end{lemma} \begin{lemma}[\cite{Fu-2}] \label{lem2.2} $A\Phi(t)$ is continuous for $t>0$ in the uniform operator topology of $\pounds(H)$. \end{lemma} To simplify notation, let $A^{\alpha}\Phi(t)x=\Phi(t)A^{\alpha}x$, for any $ 0 \leq \alpha \leq 1,x\in D(A^{\alpha}) $. Now we define the mild solution of \eqref{e1.1} expressed by the resolvent operator $\Phi(t)$. \begin{definition} \label{def2.2}\rm A stochastic process $x(\cdot)\in PC(J_0, L_2(\Omega, \mathfrak F,P; H))$ is called a mild solution of \eqref{e1.1} if the following condition are satisfied: \begin{itemize} \item[(1)] the initial value $\phi \in L_2(\Omega,C_{\alpha})$ and the control $u(\cdot) \in L_2^{\mathfrak{F_t}}(J,U)$. \item[(2)] the function $A\Phi(t-s)F(s,x_{s}), s\in J$ is integrable and on $J_0$ it satisfies \begin{equation} \label{e2.2} x(t)=\begin{cases} \phi(t), & t\in [-r,0], \\ \Phi(t)(\phi(0)+F(0,\phi))-F(t,x_t)+\int _0^{t}A \Phi(t-s)F(s,x_{s})\,ds\\ +\int _0^{t}\Phi(t-s)Bu(s)\,ds -\int _0^{t}\Phi(t-s)\int _0^{s}\gamma(s-v) F(v,x_{v})\,dv\,ds \\ +\int _0^{t}\Phi(t-s)G(s, x_{s})\,dw(s) +\Sigma_{0 0$, such that \begin{gather*} \|F(t, \beta)-F(t, \xi) \|_{\alpha}^2 + \|G(t, \beta)-G(t, \xi)\|_{Q}^2 \leq N_1\|\beta-\xi \|_{C_{\alpha}}^2,\\ \|F(t, \xi)\|_{\alpha}^2+\|G(t, \xi)\|_{Q}^2 \leq N_1(1+\|\xi\|_{C_{\alpha}}^2),\\ \|I_{k}(x)-I_{k}(y)\|^2\leq d_{1k}\|x-y\|^2. \end{gather*} \item[(H3)] The function $\gamma(t) \in L(H_{\alpha}, H)$ for each $t\in J$ suppose that there exist a positive constant $M_2$, such that $\|\gamma(t)\|_{\alpha,0} \leq M_2$. \item[(H4)] The function $F: J\times C_{\alpha}\to H_\alpha$ and $G:J\times C_{\alpha}\to L_2^{0}(K,H)$ are uniformly bounded for $t\in J$, $x_t\in C_{\alpha}$, there exist a positive constant $M_{3}$, such that \[ \|F(t, x_t)\|_\alpha + \|G(t, x_t)\|_{Q} \leq M_{3}. \] \end{itemize} For any $\lambda \in (0, 1]$, we define the control function for system \eqref{e1.1} as: \begin{align*} u^{\lambda}(t, x) &= B^{*}\Phi^{*}(T-t)R(\lambda,\Gamma_0^{T})[\mathbb{E}h -\Phi(T)(\phi(0)+F(0, \phi))+F(T, x_{T})]\\ &\quad -B^{*}\Phi^{*}(T-t)\int _0^{t}R(\lambda,\Gamma_{s}^{T})A\Phi(T-s) F(s,x_{s})\,ds\\ &\quad +B^{*}\Phi^{*}(T-t)\int _0^{t}R(\lambda,\Gamma_{s}^{T})\Phi(T-s) \int_0^{s}\gamma(s-v)F(v,x_{v})\,dvds \\ &\quad -B^{*}\Phi^{*}(T-t)\int _0^{t}R(\lambda,\Gamma_{s}^{T}) [\Phi(T-s)G(s,x_{s})-\varphi(s)]\, dw(s)\\ &\quad -B^{*}\Phi^{*}(T-t)R(\lambda,\Gamma_0^{T})\sum_{0
