Abstract

Nuclear clusters play a key role in the Trojan Horse Method for Nuclear Astrophysics studies. The Trojan Horse Method is an indirect technique to determine the astrophysical S(E) factor at ultra-low energies, free of Coulomb suppression and electron screening effect. Clustering makes it possible to use a few-body approach to derive a simple relationship between the measured 2 → 3 cross section and that of the 2 → 2 cross section of interest for astrophysics. The basic features of the Trojan Horse Method will be discussed and some recent results will be presented.
