Description

We have calculated the 3He(3He, 2p)4He and 3H(3H, 2n)4He reaction cross sections at low energies within the microscopic multichannel resonating group method. For both reactions, we find good agreement with experiment. For the 3H(3H, 2n)4He reaction, our calculated energy dependence reproduces that of each individual low-energy experimental data set, except for a normalization constant. Using this fact, we derive at a low-energy 3H(3H, 2n)4He rate by taking the averaged mean of these fits. (orig.)
