Abstract

The 12C(12C,α0,1)20Ne and 12C(12C,p0,1)23Na reactions have been measured from Ec.m.=2.7 MeV down to 0.8 MeV via the Trojan Horse Method off the deuteron in 14N. This range of energies is relevant in astrophysical scenarios, from superburst ignition to explosive stellar carbon burning. The deduced astrophysical S(E) factors exhibit several resonances that are responsible for a very large increase of the reaction rate at the relevant temperatures.
