Cross sections for theLi6(p,He3)He4reaction at energies between 0.1 and 3.0 MeV

Absolute differential and total (integrated) cross sections for the ${}_{}{}^6{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Li}$($p$,${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$)${}_{}{}^4{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ reaction at proton energies between ∼0.14 and 3 MeV are presented, and compared with previous measurements. The results comprise a consistent set of data over much of the energy range of interest to a number of applications. Thermonuclear reaction rate parameters and astrophysical $S$ factors are calculated. The measured angular distributions are compared to predictions of a preliminary $R$-matrix analysis based on the nuclear properties of energy levels in the mass-7 system.
