Abstract

Differential-cross-section data are presented for the ⁸Li(p, α)⁵He reaction at 1.5 MeV center-of-mass energy, measured with a (radioactive) ⁸Li beam. The data are used to calculate one of the terms of the thermonuclear reaction rate for destruction of ⁸Li. In addition, other data are used to estimate the total reaction rate for p+⁸Li, which is found to be comparable to that used in previous calculations of abundances from primordial nucleosynthesis.
