Abstract

The differential cross section for the 7Be(d, n) 8B reaction at E c.m.=5.8 MeV has been measured using a 7Be beam produced by the radioactive nuclear beam facility at the China Institute of Atomic Energy. The 8B ions were detected in full geometry with a two dimensional position sensitive ΔE-E counter telescope. The reaction cross section was determined to be 58±8 mb. The angular distribution data were analyzed with a distorted-wave Born approximation calculation. The astrophysical S 17(0) factor for the 7Be(p, γ) 8B reaction was derived to be 27.4±4.4 eV b through the asymptotic normalization constant extracted from the experimental data.
