Abstract

In recent years, the Trojan Horse Method (THM) has been used to investigate the low-energy cross sections of proton-induced reactions on ¹⁷O nuclei, overcoming extrapolation procedures and enhancement effects due to electron screening. We will report on the indirect study of the ¹⁷O(p,α)¹⁴N reaction via the Trojan Horse Method by applying the approach developed for extracting the resonance strength of narrow resonance in the ultralow energy region. The mean value of the strengths obtained in the two measurements was calculated and compared with the direct data available in literature.
