Study of the {sup 10}B(p,alpha){sup 7}Be Reaction through the Indirect Trojan Horse Method

The {sup 10}B(p,alpha){sup 7}Be reaction is the main responsible for {sup 10}B destruction in stellar interior. In such environments the process takes places mainly through a resonant state of the compound {sup 11}C nucleus. The {sup 10}B(p,alpha){sup 7}Be reaction has been studied by means of the Trojan Horse Method using the {sup 2}H({sup 10}B,alpha{sup 7}Be)n three-body reaction. The experiment was performed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud in Catania. The {sup 10}B(p,alpha){sup 7}Be reaction cross section has been extracted at low neutron momentum.
