Direct measurement of the 7Be(n, α)4 He reaction cross sections for the cosmological Li problem

The cross sections of the 7Be(n, α)4He reaction for p-wave neutrons were experimentally determined at Ec.m. = 0.20−0.81 MeV close to the Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) energy window for the first time on the basis of the detailed balance principle by measuring the time-reverse reaction. The obtained...
