C12+16O molecular resonances at deep sub-barrier energy

The existence of C12+16O molecular resonances at sub-barrier energy has been a significant problem in nuclear astrophysics because they strongly affect the C12+16O fusion reaction rate in type Ia supernovae and heavy stars. However, experimental surveys have been limited to 4 MeV and cannot access t...
