Abstract: (Springer)
The cross section for the2^{2}H(p, γ\gamma )3^{3}He reaction was measured in the energy range E = 47–210 keV, relevant for primordial nucleosynthesis. A proton beam was incident on two deuterated titanium targets. The angular distribution of emitted γ \gamma -rays was determined using two HPGe detectors, placed at 90 90^{\circ} and 135 135^{\circ} with respect to the incident beam direction. Results were compared with the latest ab initio theoretical calculation, including one- and many-body contributions. The predicted cross section and astrophysical S-factor are found to be in a very good agreement with measured values.
