First application of the Trojan horse method with a radioactive ion beam: Study of the ¹⁸F(p, α)¹⁵O reaction at astrophysical energies

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²H(¹⁸F, α¹⁵O), E=47.9 MeV, [¹⁸F secondary beam from ¹⁸O(p, n) primary reaction at CRIB-CNS-RIKEN facility]; measured Q-value spectra, σ for p-¹⁸F c.m. energy; deduced momentum distribution for the p-n intercluster motion in deuteron. ¹⁹Ne; deduced proton resonances, levels, J, π, and compared to previous experimental data and evaluations. ¹⁸F(p, α)¹⁵O, E<900 keV; deduced σ(E), astrophysical S(E) factor by Trojan horse method (THM) by considering interference effects.
