A new full three-body method is introduced to compute the rate of the triple-alpha capture reaction which is the primary source of $^{12}$C in stars. In this work, we combine the Faddeev hyperspherical harmonics and the R-matrix method to obtain a full solution to the three-body $alpha+alpha+alpha$ continuum. Particular attention is paid to the long range effects caused by the pairwise Coulomb interactions. The new rate agrees with the NACRE rate for temperatures greater than 0.07 GK, but a large enhancement at lower temperature is found ($approx 10^{14}$ at 0.02 GK). Our results are compared to previous calculations where additional approximations were made. We show that the new rate does not significantly change the evolution of stars around one solar mass. In particular, such stars still undergo a red-giant phase consistent with observations, and no significant differences are found in the final white dwarfs.

The astrophysical capture process $alpha+d$ $rightarrow$ $^6$Li + $gamma$ is studied in a three-body model. The initial state is factorized into the deuteron bound state and the $alpha+d$ scattering state. The final nucleus $^6$Li(1+) is described
as a three-body bound state $alpha+n+p$ in the hyperspherical Lagrange-mesh method. The contribution of the E1 transition operator from the initial isosinglet states to the isotriplet components of the final state is estimated to be negligible. An estimation of the forbidden E1 transition to the isosinglet components of the final state is comparable with the corresponding results of the two-body model. However, the contribution of the E2 transition operator is found to be much smaller than the corresponding estimations of the two-body model. The three-body model perfectly matches the new experimental data of the LUNA collaboration with the spectroscopic factor 2.586 estimated from the bound-state wave functions of $^6$Li and deuteron.
Background: The breakout from the hot Carbon-Nitrogen-Oxigen (CNO) cycles can trigger the rp-process in type I x-ray bursts. In this environment, a competition between $^{15}text{O}(alpha,gamma){^{19}text{Ne}}$ and the two-proton capture reaction $^{
15}text{O}(2p,gamma){^{17}text{Ne}}$ is expected. Purpose: Determine the three-body radiative capture reaction rate for ${^{17}text{Ne}}$ formation including sequential and direct, resonant and non-resonant contributions on an equal footing. Method: Two different discretization methods have been applied to generate $^{17}$Ne states in a full three-body model: the analytical transformed harmonic oscillator method and the hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method. The binary $p$--$^{15}$O interaction has been adjusted to reproduce the known spectrum of the unbound $^{16}$F nucleus. The dominant $E1$ contributions to the $^{15}text{O}(2p,gamma){^{17}text{Ne}}$ reaction rate have been calculated from the inverse photodissociation process. Results: Three-body calculations provide a reliable description of $^{17}$Ne states. The agreement with the available experimental data on $^{17}$Ne is discussed. It is shown that the $^{15}text{O}(2p,gamma){^{17}text{Ne}}$ reaction rates computed within the two methods agree in a broad range of temperatures. The present calculations are compared with a previous theoretical estimation of the reaction rate. Conclusions: It is found that the full three-body model provides a reaction rate several orders of magnitude larger than the only previous estimation. The implications for the rp-process in type I x-ray bursts should be investigated.
At the long-wavelength approximation, electric dipole transitions are forbidden between isospin-zero states. In an $alpha+n+p$ model with $T = 1$ contributions, the $alpha(d,gamma)^6$Li astrophysical $S$-factor is in agreement with the experimental d
ata of the LUNA collaboration, without adjustable parameter. The exact-masses prescription used to avoid the disappearance of $E1$ transitions in potential models is not founded at the microscopic level.
The triple-alpha process, whereby evolved stars create carbon and oxygen, is believed to be fine-tuned to a high degree. Such fine-tuning is suggested by the unusually strong temperature dependence of the triple-alpha reaction rate at stellar tempera
tures. This sensitivity is due to the resonant character of the triple-alpha process, which proceeds through the so-called Hoyle state of $^{12}$C with spin-parity $0^+$. The question of fine-tuning can be studied within the {it ab initio} framework of nuclear lattice effective field theory, which makes it possible to relate {it ad hoc} changes in the energy of the Hoyle state to changes in the fundamental parameters of the nuclear Hamiltonian, which are the light quark mass $m_q$ and the electromagnetic fine-structure constant. Here, we update the effective field theory calculation of the sensitivity of the triple-alpha process to small changes in the fundamental parameters. In particular, we consider recent high-precision lattice QCD calculations of the nucleon axial coupling $g_A$, as well as new and more comprehensive results from stellar simulations of the production of carbon and oxygen. While the updated stellar simulations allow for much larger {it ad hoc} shifts in the Hoyle state energy than previously thought, recent lattice QCD results for the nucleon S-wave singlet and triplet scattering lengths now disfavor the scenario of no fine-tuning in the light quark mass $m_q$.
We study the structure of $^9_Lambda$Be in the framework of three body $alpha+alpha+Lambda$ cluster model using YNG-NF interaction with the Gaussian expansion method. Employing the complex scaling method, we obtain the energies of bound states as wel
l as energies and decay widths of the resonant states. By analyzing our wave functions of bound states and resonant states, we confirm three analogue states of $^9_Lambda$Be pointed out by Band${rm bar{o}}$ and Motoba {it et al.} cite{motoba1983,motoba1985,bando1983}, $^8$Be analogue states, $^9_{Lambda}$Be genuine states and $^9$Be analogue states. The new states of $^9_Lambda$Be are also obtained at a high energy region with broader decay widths.
