R-matrix and potential model extrapolations for NACRE update and extension project

NACRE, the 'nuclear astrophysics compilation of reaction rates', has been widely utilized in stellar evolution and nucleosynthesis studies. Its update and extension programme started within a Konan-Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) collaboration. At the present moment, experimental data in refereed journals have been collected, and their theoretical extrapolations are being performed using the R-matrix or potential models. For the 3H(d,n) 4He and 2H(p,γ)3He reactions, we present preliminary results that could well reproduce the experimental data. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.SCOPUS: cp.pInternational Symposium on Origin of Matter and Evolution of Galaxies 2005: New Horizon of Nuclear Astrophysics and Cosmology; Tokyo; Japan; 8 November 2005 through 11 November 2005.
