Abstract

The Trojan Horse method (THM) is a powerful indirect technique that provides a successful alternative path to determine the bare nucleus astrophysical S(E) factor for rearrangement reactions down to astrophysical energies. This is done by measuring the cross section for a suitable three body process in the quasi-free kinematics regime. Prescriptions and basic features will be presented together with some applications to demonstrate how THM works.
