Abstract :
The 8B(α,p)11C reaction is part of the network that can bypass the triple α process leading to the production of 12C. We have measured the astrophysical reaction rate for this reaction by studying the inverse 11C(p,α)8B process. The radioactive 11C beam was produced via the p(11B,11C)n reaction using the in-flight facility at the ATLAS accelerator. The astrophysical reaction rate obtained from the excitation function measured in the energy range Ex=8.8-10 MeV was found to be a factor of 10-50 higher than previous estimates.
