 Topic 14: Astrophysical S factor of 3He(α,γ)7Be

             The 3He(α,γ)7Be reaction is important for the neutrino production in the sun’s core and the production of 7 Li during big bang nucleosynthesis.
             The reaction mechanism is characterized by a strong direct capture component and nearby broad unbound resonance levels.
 




            Guideline

            1. Motivation: stelar scenarios, role of the reaction in stellar nucleosynthesis, previous attemps to investigate this reaction.

             2. Description of the experiment: accelerator, experimental setup.

             3. Discussion of the results and implications in observed abundances.
