Three-body radiative capture reactions

Abstract

Radiative capture reaction rates for ${}^6$He, ${}^9$Be and ${}^{17}$Ne formation at astrophysical conditions are studied within a three-body model using the analytical transformed harmonic oscillator method to calculate their states. An alternative procedure to estimate these rates from experimental data on low-energy breakup is also discussed
