S. Cherubini et al., INDIRECT INVESTIGATION OF THE D-6 REACTION AT LOW ENERGIES RELEVANT FOR NUCLEAR ASTROPHYSICS(LI), The Astrophysical journal, 457(2), 1996, pp. 855-858
The indirect investigation of low-energy charged-particle reactions re
levant for nuclear astrophysics is considered, employing statistical t
ensor analysis. Data from the quasi-free contribution to the Li-6(Li-6
, 2 alpha)He-4 reaction at projectile energies above the Coulomb barri
er are analyzed in order to extract the excitation function of the Li-
6(d, alpha)He-4 reaction at very low relative energy. The results are
compared with an astrophysical factor extracted from the free-reaction
cross section data. The limits of the method are discussed.
