Sub-Coulomb nuclear studies using Indirect Methods: Recent results with the Trojan Horse Method
\nOur knowledge on how stars evolve depends on understanding two key factors: energy production and chemical evolution. Both factors are determined by thermonuclear reactions. Unfortunately, directly measuring them in a laboratory can be challenging: often, the reaction cross section are too small or require radioactive targets that are impractical to work with. To overcome these challenges, indirect techniques have been developed. One such technique, the Trojan Horse Method, makes use of transfer reactions to determine cross sections of reactions relevant in stellar burning processes. Here we will explore the Trojan Horse Method in the relevant details, explaining how it is used in nuclear astrophysics and we will delve into examples of THM measurements.\n
