Assessing the near threshold cross section of the ¹⁷O(n, α)¹⁴C reaction by means of the Trojan horse method

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ²H(¹⁷O, α¹⁴C), E=43.5 MeV; measured reaction products, particle spectra, (particle)(particle)-coin, angular distributions using two telescopes of ionization chambers (IC) and silicon position-sensitive detector (PSD) at LNS-Catania and NSL-Notre Dame accelerator facilities; deduced normalized reaction yields, experimental momentum distribution, quasifission (QF) cross sections and best fit from R-matrix analysis. ¹⁸O; deduced levels, resonances, J, π, and Trojan horse method (THM) analysis of Γ_n, Γ_α and total widths. ¹⁷O(n, α)¹⁴C, T₉=0.01-10; deduce astrophysical reaction rates by THM method.
