The reaction 13C(alpha,n)16O: a background for the observation of geo-neutrinos
The absolute cross section of the C(,n)O reaction has
been measured at E = 0.8 to 8.0 MeV with an overall accuracy of 4%.
The precision is needed to subtract reliably a background in the observation of
geo-neutrinos, e.g. in the KamLAND detector.Comment: LaTex file, 13 pages including 3 ps figures. Any request to

Study of the 12C+12C fusion reactions near the Gamow energy
The fusion reactions 12C(12C,a)20Ne and 12C(12C,p)23Na have been studied from
E = 2.10 to 4.75 MeV by gamma-ray spectroscopy using a C target with ultra-low
hydrogen contamination. The deduced astrophysical S(E)* factor exhibits new
resonances at E <= 3.0 MeV, in particular a strong resonance at E = 2.14 MeV,
which lies at the high-energy tail of the Gamow peak. The resonance increases
the present non-resonant reaction rate of the alpha channel by a factor of 5
near T = 8x10^8 K. Due to the resonance structure, extrapolation to the Gamow
energy E_G = 1.5 MeV is quite uncertain. An experimental approach based on an
underground accelerator placed in a salt mine in combination with a high
efficiency detection setup could provide data over the full E_G energy range.Comment: 4 Pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. Let
Status of the Standard Solar Model Prediction of Solar Neutrino Fluxes
The Standard Solar Model (BP04) predicts a total 8B neutrino flux that is
17.2% larger than measured in the salt phase of the SNO detector (and if it
were significant it will indicate oscillation to sterile neutrinos). Hence it
is important to examine in details uncertainties (and values) of inputs to the
SSM. Currently, the largest fractional uncertainty is due to the new evaluation
of the surface composition of the sun. We examine the nuclear input on the
formation of solar 8B [S17(0)] and demonstrate that it is still quite uncertain
due to ill known slope of the measured astrophysical cross section factor and
thus ill defined extrapolation to zero energy. This yields an additional
reasonably estimated uncertainty due to extrapolation of +0.0 -3.0 eV-b (+0%
-14%). Since a large discrepancy exists among measured as well as among
predicted slopes, the value of S17(0) is dependent on the choice of data and
theory used to extrapolate S17(0). This situation must be alleviated by new
measurement(s). The "world average" is driven by the Seattle result due to the
very small quoted uncertainty, which we however demonstrate it to be an
over-estimated accuracy. We propose more realistic error bars for the Seattle
results based on the published Seattle data.Comment: Fifth International Conferenceon Non-Accelerator New Physics, Dubna,
