Talk

For the first time, the Trojan Horse Method (THM) was applied to study a reaction induced by a radioactive beam at low energies relevant for astrophysics. In particular, the 18F(p,α)15O process was investigated via the 18F(d,α15O)n quasi-free reaction. This reaction is interesting for astrophysics, as the γ-ray emission from classical novae is dominated by positron annihilation resulting...

Talk

LUNA (Laboratory for Underground Nuclear Astrophysics) is a nuclear astrophysics experiment running at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) [1]. Aim of the experiment is to measure the cross section of fusion reactions that take place inside the stars and that, in the past, dominated the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN). The low background of the LNGS underground laboratory allows...

57. Low-energy d+d fusion reactions via the Trojan Horse Method

Talk

The knowledge of 2H(d,p)3H and 2H(d,n)3He fusion cross section at low energies is of interest for pure and applied physics. Both reactions belong to the network of processes to fuel the first magnetic- and inertial-confinement fusion reactors in the range of kT= 1 to 30 keV. As for the Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (SBBN), the region of interest ranges from 50 to 300 keV and experimental...
