Trojan Horse as an indirect technique in nuclear astrophysics. Resonance reactions

Abstract

The Trojan Horse method is a powerful indirect technique that provides information to determine astrophysical factors for binary rearrangement processes $x+A\to b+B$ at astrophysically relevant energies by measuring the cross section for the Trojan Horse reaction $a+A\to y+b+B$ in quasi-free kinematics. We present the theory of the Trojan Horse method for resonant binary subreactions based on the half-off-energy-shell R matrix approach which takes into account the off-energy-shell effects and initial and final state interactions.
