    Notes: Abstract We have studied the helium plasma in the hypernetted-chain-Approximation considering both short-ranged internuclear and long-ranged Coulomb interactions. The optimal two-particle wave function has been determined in HNC/0 approximation. The two-particle distribution functions, which have been calculated in various orders of HNC/n approximations (n=0, 4, 5), are used to determine the pycnonuclear triple-alpha-fusion rate in the density regime 108 g/cm3≤ρ≤1010 g/cm3, in which the fusing of three alpha-particles to form a12C-nucleus plays an important role in the crust evolution of an accreting old neutron star. Our calculation supports the idea that the helium liquid undergoes a phase transition to stable8Be matter at densities slightly lower thanρ≈3×109 g/ cm3 as the plasma induced screening potential then becomes strong enough to bind the8Be ground state.

    Notes: Abstract We have performed a microscopic study of the3He(d,p) α reaction at astrophysical energies within the framework of the Resonating Group Method adopting three different effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. The calculations suggest that the low-energy3He(d,p) α cross section is in good approximation given by the contribution arising from the 3/2+ resonant state atE R =245 keV. In fact, the low-energy data can be better (and more physically) described by a single Breit-Wigner resonance parametrization than by a polynomial fit. Our fit to the3He(d,p) α cross section results in a noticeable reduction in the uncertainties of the resonance parameters of the 3/2+ resonant state as well as in a significantly improved extrapolation of the data to astrophysically important energies. On the basis of this extrapolation we were able to quantitatively deduce the enhancement of the low-energy cross section due to electron screening effects from the data of Krauss et al. and Engstler et al. These experimental enhancement factors were compared with various theoretical models which are all based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. As the models underestimate the observed enhancement we suggest that the theoretical study of electron screening effects requires a dynamical treatment.
