Abstract
The cross section and angular distribution of the ^2H(d,γ) ^4He reaction have been measured from E^(CM) = 50 to 500 keV. For E⩽200 keV, the observed near-constant cross-section S-factor and isotropy show that the dominant radiative capture amplitude is ^5S_2→^5D_0, instead of the ^1D_2→^1S_0 amplitude that dominates at higher energies. Thus the ^4He D-state admixture can be determined from the low-energy cross section alone. Values obtained from different models range up to 14%. As the new astrophysical S-factor is 32 times larger than previously estimated, it will likely affect inhomogeneous big-bang nucleosynthesis models.
