Abstract
Abstract The cross section for the radiative capture reaction 3 He( 4 He, γ) 7 Be has been measured at 525 keV in the centre-of-mass by detection of prompt capture γ- rays. The targets were 3 He-implanted Nb foils that allowed us to circumvent the experimental difficulties inherent in the use of extended gas cells for absolute measurements. The results give an inferred zero-energy cross-section factor of S 34 (0) = 0.47 ± 0.04 keV · b. The present result is compared with results from previous capture γ-ray yield and 7 Be-activity methods of measuring the cross-section factor.
