Experimental determination of the 7Be+p scattering lengths

The Be-7 + p elastic cross section has been measured at the Centre de Recherches du Cyclotron RIB facility at Louvain-la-Neuve in the c.m. energy region from 0.3 to 0.75 MeV by bombarding a proton-rich target with a radioactive 7Be beam. The recoil protons have been detected in the angular range theta(c.m.) = 120.2degrees-131.1degrees and theta(c.m.) = 156.6degrees-170.2degrees using the LEDA system. From a R-matrix analysis of the cross section data. we obtain the energy and the width of the I resonance (E-X = 0.77 MeV). The iota = 0 scattering lengths a(01) = 25 +/- 9 fm (channel spin I = 1) and a(02) = -7 +/- 3 fm (channel spin I = 2) have been deduced. They are compared to values expected from charge-symmetry properties. Implications on the low energy S-factor of the Be-7(p,gamma)B-8 reaction are discussed

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

Measurement of nuclear cross sections at astrophysical energies involving unstable species is one of the most challenging tasks in experimental nuclear physics. The use of indirect methods is often unavoidable in this scenario. In this paper the Trojan Horse Method is applied for the first time to a radioactive ion beam induced reaction studying the
