S. Zavatarelli et al., The D(He-3, p)He-4 fusion reaction: electron screening effect and astrophysical S(E) factor at low energies, NUCL PHYS A, 688(1-2), 2001, pp. 514C-517C
The D(He-3,p)He-4 cross section has been measured at E = 4.2 to 13.8 keV us
ing the LUNA accelerator facility installed in the Gran Sasso National Labo
ratory (LNGS). The experimental setup and the interpretation of results in
terms of electron screening potential are described. In the same experiment
an estimate of the observed stopping power of the He-3 ions in D-2 target
has been obtained and it turned out to be in good agreement with the standa
rd compilation.
