Abstract

The ¹⁰B(p,α)⁷Be reaction is the main responsible for the ¹⁰B destruction in stellar interior [1]. In such environments this p-capture process occurs at a Gamow energy of 10 keV and takes places mainly through a resonant state (Ex = 8.701 MeV) of the compound ¹¹C nucleus. Thus a resonance right in the region of the Gamow peak is expected to significantly influence the behavior of the astrophysical S(E)-factor. The ¹⁰B(p,α)⁷Be reaction was studied via the Trojan Horse Method (THM) applied to the ²H(¹⁰B,α⁷Be)n in order to extract the astrophysical S(E)-factor in a wide energy range from 5 keV to 1.5 MeV.
