Title: On the Determination of the ⁷ Be(n, α ) ⁴ He Reaction Cross Section at BBN Energies

Abstract

⁷Be destruction channels are presently a matter of study due to their influence on the ⁷Li cosmological abundances. In this work, we determine the cross section of the (n, α) reaction by using Trojan Horse experimental data for the ⁷Li(p, α)⁴He reaction and correcting for Coulomb effects. The deduced ⁷Be(n, α)⁴He data overlap with the Big Bang nucleosynthesis energies and the deduced reaction rate allows us to evaluate the corresponding cosmological implications.

Cross-section Measurement of the Cosmologically Relevant ⁷Be(n, α)⁴ He Reaction over a Broad Energy Range in a Single Experiment

Journal Article Lamia, L. ; Mazzocco, M. ; Pizzone, R. G. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal (Online)

Studying interactions of radioactive ions with neutrons is particularly demanding and has been performed only in a few cases. Some of these interactions are crucial in several astrophysical contexts. In the present work, the case of the ⁷Be destruction induced by the (n, α) reaction is investigated at the energies typical of the primordial nucleosynthesis by means of the Trojan Horse Method applied to the ²H(⁷Be, αα)p quasi-free reaction. The ⁷Be(n, α)⁴He cross-section has been measured in a single experiment from ~2 MeV down to cosmological energies. The corresponding deduced reaction rate has been adopted to evaluate the impact onmore »« less

Direct and Indirect Measurements for a Better Understanding of the Primordial Nucleosynthesis

Journal Article Spartá, Roberta ; Pizzone, Rosario Gianluca ; Bertulani, Carlos A. ; ... - Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences

The Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) model is a great success of nuclear astrophysics due to the outstanding agreement between observational and predicted light elements abundances. One exception, however, is the so-called “lithium problem.” In this context, experimental efforts to measure the relevant reactions have been brought to an increased level of accuracy in measuring primordial abundances, and the introduction of indirect methods has allowed researchers to overcome the natural limitations of direct measurements in the energy range of interest for BBN. Here we review the results obtained from the application of the Trojan Horse Method to some of the mostmore »« less

New Thermonuclear Rate of ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴He Relevant to the Cosmological Lithium Problem

Journal Article Hou, S. Q. ; Kajino, T. ; Trueman, T. L. ; ... - The Astrophysical Journal

Accurate ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴ He thermonuclear reaction rates are crucial for precise prediction of the primordial abundances of lithium and beryllium and to probe the mysteries beyond fundamental physics and the standard cosmological model. However, uncertainties still exist in current reaction rates of ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴ He widely used in big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) simulations. In this work, we reevaluate the ⁷Li(d,n)2⁴ He reaction rate using the latest data on the three near-threshold ⁹Be excited states from experimental measurements. We present for the first time uncertainties that are directly constrained by experiments. Additionally, we take into account for the first time the contribution frommore »« less

New determination of the {sup 2}H(d,p){sup 3}H and {sup 2}H(d,n){sup 3}He reaction rates at astrophysical energies

Journal Article Tumino, A. ; Spartà, R. ; Spitaleri, C. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The cross sections of the {sup 2}H(d,p){sup 3}H and {sup 2}H(d,n){sup 3}He reactions have been measured via the Trojan Horse method applied to the quasi-free {sup 2}H({sup 3}He,p {sup 3}H){sup 1}H and {sup 2}H({sup 3}He,n {sup 3}He){sup 1}H processes at 18 MeV off the proton in {sup 3}He. For the first time, the bare nucleus S(E) factors have been determined from 1.5 MeV, across the relevant region for standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, down to the thermal energies of deuterium burning in the pre-main-sequence (PMS) phase of stellar evolution, as well as of future fusion reactors.

Big bang nucleosynthesis revisited via Trojan Horse method measurements

Journal Article Pizzone, R. G. ; Spartá, R. ; Spitaleri, C. ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Nuclear reaction rates are among the most important input for understanding primordial nucleosynthesis and, therefore, for a quantitative description of the early universe. An up-to-date compilation of direct cross-sections of {sup 2}H(d, p){sup 3}H, {sup 2}H(d, n){sup 3}He, {sup 7}Li(p, α){sup 4}He, and {sup 3}He(d, p){sup 4}He reactions is given. These are among the most uncertain cross-sections used and input for big bang nucleosynthesis calculations. Their measurements through the Trojan Horse method are also reviewed and compared with direct data. The reaction rates and the corresponding recommended errors in this work were used as input for primordial nucleosynthesis calculations tomore »« less
