Abstract: (Elsevier)
Low-energy cross section data for 86 charged-particle induced reactions involving light (1 ⩽ Z ⩽ 14), mostly stable, nuclei are compiled. The corresponding Maxwellian-averaged thermonuclear reaction rates of relevance in astrophysical plasmas at temperatures in the range from 10 6 K to 10 10 K are calculated. These evaluations assume either that the target nuclei are in their ground state, or that the target states are thermally populated following a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, except in some cases involving isomeric states.
