We review and analyze the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that
are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production. We provide …

Abstract The 12 C (α, γ) 16 O reaction is crucial for the understanding of He burning in
massive stars, but the low-energy cross section is highly uncertain. To address this problem …

We report the first calculations of cross sections for the radiative capture reactions 3 H (α, γ)
7 Li and 3 He (α, γ) 7 Be below 2 MeV that use wave functions derived from realistic nucleon …

A modified two-body potential approach is proposed for determination of both the asymptotic
normalization coefficient (ANC)(or the respective nuclear vertex constant (NVC)) for the A+ …

Nuclear processes not only generate the energy and drive the evolution of stars, but also are
responsible for the synthesis of the elements in the Universe. Helium (4 He, or α) is the …

A new analysis of the modern astrophysical S factors for the direct-capture 3 He (α, γ) 7 Be
reaction, precisely measured in recent works [BS Nara Singh, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 262503 …

From the exact three-body distorted wave amplitude obtained by other authors for the one-
charged-particle-transfer reaction A (x, y) B within the strict three-body (x= y+ a and B= A+ a …

We apply the microscopic three-cluster model, developed by the authors recently, to study
the effects of cluster polarization on the capture reactions 3 He (α, γ) 7 Be, 3 H (α, γ) 7 Li, 6 Li …

Within the (α, n, p) three-body model, the s-wave 6 Li→ α+ d vertex constant G 01 and the
asymptotic normalization coefficient C 01 (these two quantities are proportional to each …

An asymptotic normalization constant (ANC) is a measure of the probability in the large-
radius tail of a wave function. It is probed in some laboratory experiments where atomic …
