Trojan Horse Method: A general introduction

ELT: A Trojan Horse in Disguise?

Many people believe that language teaching is a neutral practice. However, this belief is not without its own opponents. To many scholars, teaching languages cannot be devoid of teaching cultural values of the target language, which tacitly aims at denigrating cultural values of the community of the learners who are learning it. The ultimate purpose of such cultural oppression, according to the...

Transfer Reactions and Trojan Horse Method

It is pointed out that the Trojan-Horse method is a suitable tool to investigate subthreshold resonances. TRANSFER REACTIONS AND TROJAN HORSE METHOD A similarity between cross sections for two-body and closely related three-body reactions under certain kinematical conditions [1] led to the introduction of the Trojan-Horse method [2, 3, 4]. In this indirect approach a two-body reaction

Theory of the Trojan-Horse Method

The Trojan-Horse method is an indirect approach to determine the energy dependence of S factors of astrophysically relevant two-body reactions. This is accomplished by studying closely related three-body reactions under quasi-free scattering conditions. The basic theory of the Trojan-Horse method is developed starting from a post-form distorted wave Born approximation of the T-matrix element. I...

Extraction of Astrophysical Cross Sections in the Trojan-Horse Method

The Trojan-horse method has been proposed to extract S-matrix elements of a two-body reaction at astrophysical energies from a related reaction with three particles in the ®nal state. This should be useful in cases where the direct measurement of the two-body reaction at the necessary low energies is experimentally dif®cult. The formalism of the Trojan-horse method for nuclear reactions is deve...
