Theoretical analysis of the reactions induced by interaction of ⁶Li with nuclei ³H and ³He

We determine cross sections and astrophysical S-factors of the reactions generated in collisions between ⁶Li and ³H, and ⁶Li and ³He. A microscopic three-cluster model is employed to study the dynamics of reactions occurring in the mirror nuclei ⁹Be and ⁹B. In a previous study [Phys. Rev. C { 109}, 045803 (2024)], this model was successfully applied to investigate the resonance structure of ⁹Be and ⁹B, as well as reactions induced by the interaction of deuterons with ⁷Li and ⁷Be. A fairly good agreement between theoretical results and available experimental data was achieved. To the best of our knowledge, appropriate experimental data for the astrophysical S-factors of the reactions generated by the interaction of ⁶Li with ³H and with ³He are currently unavailable. Thus, our results can serve as a guideline for future experimental efforts.
