  1. Abstract Neutron-induced nuclear reactions play an important role in the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Their excitation functions are, from an experimental point of view, usually difficult to measure. Nevertheless, in the last decades, big efforts have led to a better understanding of their role in the primordial nucleosynthesis network. In this work, we apply the Trojan Horse Method to extract the cross section at astrophysical energies for the3He(n,p)3H reaction after a detailed study of the2H(3He,pt)H three-body process. Data extracted from the present measurement are compared with other published sets. The reaction rate is also calculated, and the impact on the Big Bang nucleosynthesis is examined in detail.

  3. In the network of reactions present in the Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the 3 He(n, p) 3 H has an important role which impacts the final 7 Li abundance. The Trojan Horse Method (THM) has been applied to the 3 He(d, pt)H reaction in order to extract the astrophysical S(E)-factor of the 3 He(n, p ) 3 H in the Gamow energy range. The experiment will be described in the present work together with the first preliminary results.

  4. Abstract ATHENA has been designed as a general purpose detector capable of delivering the full scientific scope of the Electron-Ion Collider. Careful technology choices provide fine tracking and momentum resolution, high performance electromagnetic and hadronic calorimetry, hadron identification over a wide kinematic range, and near-complete hermeticity.This article describes the detector design and its expected performance in the most relevant physics channels. It includes an evaluation of detector technology choices, the technical challenges to realizing the detector and the R&D required to meet those challenges.
