In a recent Letter entitled "Measurement of d + 7Be Cross Sections for Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis", Rijal et al. describe the results of an experiment that put the d + 7Be reaction rate on firmer ground. The erratum of Rijal et al. claims…
We report on the measurement of the $^{7}$Be($n, p$)$^{7}$Li cross section from thermal to approximately 325 keV neutron energy, performed in the high-flux experimental area (EAR2) of the n\_TOF facility at CERN. This reaction plays a key…
The $^7$Li(p,n)$^7$Be reaction is widely used as neutron source for neutron induced reaction cross section measurements, and for $^7$Be radioactive source production. There are two prominent structures in the excitation function, a narrow…

The $^3$He($\alpha$,$\gamma$)$^7$Be reaction is a widely studied nuclear reaction; however, it is still not understood with the required precision. It has a great importance both in Big Bang nucleosynthesis and in solar hydrogen burning.…
There is a significant discrepancy between the current theoretical prediction of the cosmological lithium abundance, mostly produced as Be7 during the Big Bang, and its observationally inferred value. We investigate whether the resonant…
Big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) has been used as a probe of beyond-standard physics in the early Universe, which includes a time-dependent quark mass m_q. We investigate effects of a quark mass variation delta m_q on the cross sections of…
We calculate the radiative capture cross section for $^7$Be($\alpha, \gamma$)$^{11}$C and its reaction rate of relevance for the big bang nucleosynthesis. The impact of this reaction on the primordial $^7$Li abundance is revised including…
The cross section for the reaction $p+^6\text{Li}\to\eta+^7\text{Be}$ was measured at an excess energy of 11.28 MeV above threshold by detecting the recoiling $^7$Be nuclei. A dedicated set of focal plane detectors was built for the…
The anomaly in lithium abundance is a well-known unresolved problem in nuclear astrophysics. A recent revisit to the problem tried the avenue of resonance enhancement to account for the primordial $^7$Li abundance in standard big-bang…
The WMAP satellite, devoted to the observations of the anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, has recently provided a determination of the baryonic density of the Universe with unprecedented precision. Using this,…
We update the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis calculations on the basis of the recent NACRE compilation. The average values of the calculated abundances of light nuclei do not differ significantly from that obtained using the previous Fowler's…
A novel scheme for measuring the cross section of the 7Be(p,gamma)8B reaction, the major source of high energy neutrinos from t he sun, is presented. The scheme involves a strictly uniform particle beam and overcomes some of the recognized…
The energy-dependent cross section of the 7Be(n,alpha)4He reaction, of interest for the so-called Cosmological Lithium Problem in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, has been measured for the first time from 10 meV to 10 keV neutron energy. The…
Among the reactions involved in the production and destruction of deuterium during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, the deuterium-burning D(p,gamma)3He reaction has the largest uncertainty and limits the precision of theoretical estimates of…
The quantification of isotopes content in materials is extremely important in many research and industrial fields. Accurate determination of boron concentration is very critical in semiconductor, superconductor and steel industry, in…
The $^3$He($\alpha$,$\gamma$)$^7$Be reaction plays a major role both in the BBN producing the majority of the primordial $^7$Li, and in the pp-chain, where it is the branching point. As a few-nucleon system, this reaction is often used to…
We calculate the effect of variation in the light-current quark mass, $m_q$, on standard big bang nucleosynthesis. A change in $m_q$ at during the era of nucleosynthesis affects nuclear reaction rates, and hence primordial abundances, via…
The measurement of the $^7$Be($d$,$^3$He)$^6$Li* transfer cross section at 5 MeV/u is carried out. The population of the 2.186 MeV excited state of $^6$Li in this reaction channel is observed for the first time. The experimental angular…
Standard Big Bang Nucleosynthesis at the baryon density determined by the microwave anisotropy spectrum predicts an excess of \li7 compared to observations by a factor of 4-5. In contrast, BBN predictions for D/H are somewhat below (but…
