In recent years, the Trojan Horse Method (THM) has been used to investigate the low-energy cross sections of several reactions of interest for Astrophysics. We present two cases in which the application of THM reaction rates has modified the prediction of stellar nucleosynthesis. In the first case, the determination of the strengths of the 20 keV and 65 keV resonances in the...
The astrophysical S-factor and reaction rate of the direct capture process $\alpha+d \rightarrow {}^6{\rm Li} + \gamma$, as well as the abundance of the 6Li element are estimated 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...
