On discrepancies within the experimental and theoretical low energy3H(α, γ)7Li cross sections

Abstract

The two presently available measurements of the low-energy3H(α, γ)7Li reaction differ from each other by roughly 30% in total magnitude as well as in their determination of the branching ratios for the transition into the two final7Li bound states. Studying the3H(α, γ)7Li reaction in the framework of the microscopic Resonating Group Method we were able to reproduce both experimental total cross sections using different effective nucleon-nucleon interactions. However, none of the effective forces yields branching ratios compatible with the data measured by the Toronto-Münster-collaboration.
