Abstract
The cross section and branching ratio for 3He(α, γ)7Be have been measured from Ec.m.=165 to 1170 keV by counting prompt γ rays from a windowless, recirculating, 3He gas target. Absolute cross sections were also measured at Ec.m.=945 and 1250 keV by measuring the 7Be activity produced in a 3He gas cell with a Ni entrance foil. The inferred zero-energy intercept is S34(0)=0.52±0.03 keV b. The effect of this extrapolated value on the solar-neutrino problem is discussed.
