Popis: The \(^{12}\)C(\(^{12}\)C,\(\alpha _{0,1}\))\(^{20}\)Ne and \(^{12}\)C(\(^{12}\)C,\(p_{0,1}\))\(^{23}\)Na reactions, which determine carbon burning in stars, have been measured from E\(_{c.m.}\) = 2.7 MeV down to 0.8 MeV via the Trojan Horse Method off the deuteron in \(^{14}\)N. This range of energies is relevant for several astrophysical scenarios, from superburst ignition to hydrostatic burning. The measured astrophysical S(E) factors reveal several resonances, which are responsible for a very large increase of the reaction rate at the relevant temperatures.
