Proton capture in Be 7
Abstract
Cross sections for proton capture by Be 7 measured at bombarding energies of 800 keV and 1400 keV are 0.48±0.18 and 0.50±0.20 μb, respectively, from which the corresponding cross section factors are S = 0.027±0.010 and 0.017±0.007 keV·b. The reaction is therefore important in stellar energy production only in stars operating on the proton-proton chain at temperatures greater than about 2×10 7 degrees Kelvin.
