Abstract

Recently to study the radiative capture α+d6Li+γ\alpha + d \to {}^{6}{\rm Li} + \gamma process a new measurement of the 6Li(A150MeV){}^{6}{\rm Li}({\rm A\,150\,MeV}) dissociation in the field of 208Pb{}^{208}{\rm Pb} has been reported in [F. Hammache {\it et al.} Phys. Rev C82{\bf C 82}, 065803 (2010)]. However, the dominance of the nuclear breakup over the Coulomb one prevented from obtaining the information about the α+d6Li+γ\alpha + d \to {}^{6}{\rm Li} + \gamma process from the breakup data. The astrophysical S24(E)S_{24}(E) factor has been calculated within the αd\alpha-d two-body potential model with potentials determined from the fits to the αd\alpha-d elastic scattering phase shifts. However, the scattering phase shift itself doesn't provide a unique αd\alpha-d bound state potential, which is the most crucial input when calculating the S24(E)S_{24}(E) astrophysical factor at astrophysical energies. In this work we emphasize an important role of the asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) for 6Liα+d{}^{6}{\rm Li} \to \alpha + d, which controls the overall normalization of the peripheral α+d6Li+γ\alpha + d \to {}^{6}{\rm Li} + \gamma process and is determined by the adopted αd\alpha-d bound state potential. We demonstrate that the ANC previously determined from the αd\alpha-d elastic scattering ss-wave phase shift in [Blokhintsev {\it et. al} Phys. Rev. {\bf C 48}, 2390 (1993)] gives S24(E)S_{24}(E), which is at low energies about 38% lower than the one reported in [F. Hammache {\it et al.} Phys. Rev C82{\bf C 82}, 065803 (2010)]. We recalculate also the reaction rates, which are also lower than those obtained in [F. Hammache {\it et al.} Phys. Rev C82{\bf C 82}, 065803 (2010)].
