- Abstract
Nuclear reactions are responsible for the energy production in stars and related nucleosynthesis processes. For this reason, an accurate knowledge of their rates at the energies of interest is required. The Trojan Horse Method has been introduced to overcome the experimental difficulties arising from the small cross sections involved in reactions induced by charged particles at astrophysical energies. This is done by measuring the quasi-free cross section of an appropriate three body process. The basic theory of the Trojan Horse Method will be presented together with a review of some recent experimental results.
