Effects of distortion of the intercluster motion in 2H, 3He, 3H, 6Li, and 9Be on Trojan horse applications

Deuteron induced quasifree scattering and reactions have been extensively investigated in the past few decades as well as Li-6, H-3, He-3, and Be-9 induced reactions. This was done not only for the investigation of nuclear structure and reaction mechanisms but also for important astrophysical applications (Trojan horse method). In particular the widths of the spectator momentum distributions in several nuclei, which have been used as Trojan horses, have been obtained as a function of the transferred momentum. Applications of Trojan horse method will also be discussed because the momentum distribution of the spectator particle inside the nucleus is a important input for this method. This gives hints on distortion effects at low energies important for nuclear astrophysics.
