Indirect techniques in nuclear astrophysics: a review.

چکیده
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 using these indirect approaches.

Indirect Techniques in Nuclear Astrophysics: Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients and the Trojan Horse Method
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 t...
متن کاملCoulomb dissociation, a tool for nuclear astrophysics
A short status report on Coulomb dissociation, an indirect method for nuclear astrophysics is given. An analytically solvable approach to study electromagnetic excitation in Be, the archetype of a halo nucleus, is proposed. PACS numbers: 21.10.-k, 25.60.-t, 26.50.tx
متن کاملBreakup of loosely bound nuclei as indirect method in nuclear astrophysics : 8 B , 9 C , 23
Breakup of loosely bound nuclei as indirect method in nuclear astrophysics: Abstract. We discuss the use of one-nucleon breakup reactions of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies as an indirect method in nuclear astrophysics. These are peripheral processes, therefore we can extract asymptotic normalization coefficients (ANC) from which reaction rates of astrophysical interest can be inf...
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...
متن کاملNuclear Astrophysics with Radioactive Nuclear Beams: Indirect Methods
The review describes a number of indirect methods in nuclear astrophysics using radioactive beams: Coulomb dissociation, transfer reactions (the ANC method), breakup of loosely bound nuclei at intermediate energies, the use other spectroscopic measurements, including -decay studies and the determination of resonance parameters. The examples chosen are drawn from the experiments the author was i...
