Indirect Techniques in Nuclear Astrophysics: Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients and the Trojan Horse Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
Both direct and indirect techniques have been used for many years to determine nuclear reaction rates at astrophysical energies. A number of problems have been encountered which limit measurements by direct techniques, including very low cross sections, the importance of subthreshold states and the need for radioactive targets. Over the past decade, new indirect techniques have been developed to help overcome some of these problems. In this contribution, two new techniques—Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients and the Trojan Horse Method— are described. Examples of their use in defining astrophysical reaction rates are also presented.

Indirect techniques in nuclear astrophysics: a review.
In this review, we discuss the present status of three indirect techniques that are used to determine reaction rates for stellar burning processes, asymptotic normalization coefficients, the Trojan Horse method and Coulomb dissociation. A comprehensive review of the theory behind each of these techniques is presented. This is followed by an overview of the experiments that have been carried out...

متن کاملDirect Reactions with Exotic Nuclei , Nuclear Structure and Astrophysics
Intermediate energy Coulomb excitation and dissociation is a useful tool for nuclear structure and astrophysics studies. Low-lying strength in nuclei far from stability was discovered by this method. The effective range theory for low-lying strength in one-neutron halo nuclei is summarized and extended to two-neutron halo nuclei. This is of special interest in view of recent rather accurate exp...

Indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics are discussed. Recent work on Coulomb dissociation and an effective-range theory of low-lying electromagnetic strength of halo nuclei is presented. Coulomb dissociation of a halo nucleus bound by a zero-range potential is proposed as a homework problem (for further references see G. Baur and S. Typel, nucl-th/0504068). It is pointed out that the Trojan-H...
