Study of the d(p,γ)3He Reaction at Ultralow Energies using a Zirconium Deuteride Target

The mechanism for the d(p,γ)3He reaction in the region of ultralow proton-deuteron collision energies (6.67<E<12.67 keV) is investigated using a target of zirconium deuterides. The experiment was carried out in the proton beam from the high-current pulsed Hall accelerator. Dependences of the astrophysical S-factor and the effective pd - reaction cross section on the proton-deuteron collision energy are measured. The results are compared with the available literature data. The results of this work agree with the experimental results obtained the LUNA collaboration with the target of gaseous deuterium.

Electron Screening in the 7Be + p -->8B + photon reaction

We evaluate the effect of screening by bound electron in the 7Be + p --> 8B + photon reaction, where 7Be target contains bound electron, in the framework of the adiabatic representation of the three particle problem. A comparison with two other approximations (united atom and folding) is presented. A good agreement between the ``united atom'' approximation and the exact solution is found. We also discuss the screening corrections induced by two K-shell electrons on a 7Be target. The bound electron screening effect consequences for 7Be and 8B solar neutrino fluxes are discussed.

Electron Screening in 7Be + p --> 8B + photon reaction

We evaluate the effect of screening by bound electron in (7Be,e) + p --> (8B,e) + photon transition in the framework of the adiabatic representation of the three particle problem. Comparison with two approaches (united nucleus and static) is presented. We discuss possible applications of this effect both for Solar Neutrinos and low energy fusion experiments.

The electron screening in OH-->F transition both for bound and scattering states

We estimate the nuclear fusion rates for the transition OH-->F from the ground and excited molecular states and also consider effect of screening of electric charges of nuclei by bound electrons in the case of colliding atoms O and H. We show that the fusion rate for the molecular state is vanishingly small while the electron screening drastically changes the rate for the colliding atoms at kinetic energies up to hundreds of keV. The latter may be of consequence for some astrophysical applications.
