Abstract.
A Lorentzian-Function Approximation (LFA) has been developed in calculating the nonresonant reaction rate of charged-particle-induced reactions. The nonresonant reaction rate and the effective S -factor have been represented in terms of LFA. In the frame of LFA, the nonresonant reaction taken place within the Gamow window can be considered as a “resonance reaction” with a width of Γ which is equal to that of 1/e width (Δ in a well-known Gaussian-Function Approximation (GFA).
