Abstract
Although the reaction 11 B (p , 3 α) has been widely studied for its relevance in material science, nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, and fusion science, significant discrepancies exist in the data. For the channel proceeding via the ground state of 8 Be , the available cross-section data shows large discrepancies of both normalization and energy scale. The present paper reports on a measurement of the 11 B (p , α 0) cross-section using an array of large area segmented silicon detectors and low beam current on an enriched thin target with the aim of resolving the discrepancies amongst previous measurements.
