An omproved reaction rate formulation for charged-particle induced thermonuclear reaction of [sup 2]H(d,γ)[sup 4]He

The reaction rate formula utilized in compilations such as the Nuclear Astrophysics Compilation of Reaction Rates (NACRE) uses low energy approximation due to temperatures in stars are in the region of a few keVs. Most nuclear reaction experiments were done in MeV range and the interior temperatur...
