Abstract

The nuclear reaction $^{7} Li (^{3} He {, p}_{0})^{9} Be$ was measured at effective center-of-mass energies of $E = 106.3$ and $E = 112.8 keV$ with the 180-kV Cockcroft-Walton accelerator at the Colorado School of Mines. As this reaction is a possible contributor to inhomogeneous big bang nucleosynthesis, all published data were compiled and used, together with our measurement, in a calculation of the thermonuclear reaction rate for temperatures up to $10^{9} K .$
