Using the up-to-date data of nuclear reactions in BBN, in particular the ^8Li （n,γ） ^9Li which has been measured in China Institute of Atomic Energy, a full nucleosynthesis network calculation of BBN is carried out. Our calculation results show that the abundance of 12 C is increased for an order of magnitude after addition of the reaction chain ^8Li（n,γ） ^9Li（α,n） ^12B（β） ^12C, which was neglected in previous studies. We find that this sequence provides the main channel to convert the light elements into C, N, O in standard BBN.展开更多

The astrophysical S-factors of this reaction have been determined based on an evaluation of the a spectroscopic factor of the 1/2＋ subthreshold state in 17^O （Ex = 6.356 MeV） by using the 13^C（11^B, 7^Li）17^O a transfer reaction. Our result confirms that the 1/2＋ subthreshold resonance is dominant for the 13^C（a, n）16^O reaction at low energies of astrophysical interest.展开更多
