Abstract
The cross section for the Li-8(alpha, n)B-11 reaction, of importance t o primordial nucleosynthesis in the inhomogeneous models, has been mea sured using a 8Li radioactive beam. The center-of-mass energy range st udied was 0.64-2.2 MeV. The cross section to all B-11 states is found to exceed that for Li-8(alpha, n)B-11(g.s.) by a factor of at least fi ve over the entire energy region studied.
