T. Motobayashi et al., COULOMB DISSOCIATION OF B-8 AND THE BE-7(P, GAMMA)B-8 REACTION AT LOWENERGIES, Physical review letters, 73(20), 1994, pp. 2680-2683
The cross section for Coulomb dissociation of B-8-the Pb-208(B-8,Be-7
p)Pb-208 reaction-was measured using a B-8 radioactive beam of 46.5 Me
V/nucleon energy, and the cross section for the Be-7(p, gamma)B-8 capt
ure reaction was deduced at low energies; E(c.m.) = 0.6 - 1.7 MeV. The
extracted astrophysical S-17 factors were found to be consistent with
the values measured by Vaughn et al, and Filippone et al. This result
encourages further experimental studies extended to lower relative en
ergies for a new determination of the S-17 value relevant to the B-8 s
olar neutrino flux.
