Abstract:The nuclear reaction e + 3 He + 4 He → e + 7 Be is considered at thermonuclear energies. The motion of the electron is treated within the adiabatic approximation and the 3 He − 4 He scattering state is calculated using an effective 3 He− 4 He potential constructed via the Marchenko inverse scattering method. The reaction rate thus obtained for solar interior conditions is approximately 10 −4 of the corresponding rate for the radiative capture 3 He + 4 He → 7 Be + γ. However, at the conditions corresponding to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
