The 8Li(image)9Li reaction and astrophysical 8B(image)9C reaction rate Original Research Article

Angular distribution of the View the MathML source reaction at View the MathML source was measured in inverse kinematics. The square of asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) for the virtual decay View the MathML source was derived to be View the MathML source through distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA) analysis, for the first time. According to charge symmetry, (ANC)2 for View the MathML source was then extracted to be View the MathML source. We have deduced the astrophysical S-factors and reaction rates for direct capture in View the MathML source at energies of astrophysical relevance using the ANC for View the MathML source extracted from the mirror system.
