Abstract.

The cross section for the 2H(p,\(\gamma\))3He reaction was measured in the energy range E = 47–210 keV, relevant for primordial nucleosynthesis. A proton beam was incident on two deuterated titanium targets. The angular distribution of emitted \( \gamma\)-rays was determined using two HPGe detectors, placed at \( 90^{\circ}\) and \( 135^{\circ}\) with respect to the incident beam direction. Results were compared with the latest ab initio theoretical calculation, including one- and many-body contributions. The predicted cross section and astrophysical S-factor are found to be in a very good agreement with measured values.
